The most charming thing I heard about the late, lamented Alan Rickman was from Daniel Radcliff. It was the first movie and Alan came and sat with him and Radcliff said: "what was astounding was, he was giving me acting tips and he was talking to me as a fellow actor, not a child".

Maybe Patrick Stewart or Derek Jacobi could have done it as well, as we've seen in their own roles in different things over the years, but Rickman made this film his own by being able to show that character arc from prickly frustrated thespian just phoning it in to pay the bills to being fully invested in the role.

Alan was a legendarily good actor One actor on Harry Potter was having genuine problems at home and says Alan saved him from going completely crazy, because only Alan actually noticed he was having a bad time. Alan picked up on the issues the guy was hiding brilliantly from everyone else. It says a lot more than people realise because some actors can be going through hell at home yet there’s no clue on set, but he saw it. Ken Branagh said “Alan could see past your public ‘everything’s fine’ face in seconds and always knew the right time to catch you and let you know he was there for you… even fluffing lines so that you got a second take because though the director was happy he could see you weren’t, so he ensured you got that chance to go again, even though he’d done his part perfectly or when it was his scene, he’d do something that made the director go again just so you felt good…right about what you’d done…and he’d do it for everyone from the star to the extra… he wanted everyone to have their spot and get to shine”

Quelleks death scene still makes me cry. Such a great film, start to finish.

It really shows how sacred trust is. Rickman is so funny in his own sardonic, misanthropic way, then he rises to ultimate height during Quellek's death scene, proving he would rather die than violate innocent trust.

[@MarcosElMalo2]

The whole cast, but especially Rickman, grounded their performances as jaded actors in a deeply human cynical truth. In turning that cynicism on its head, they gave the movie its emotional stakes in a scene like Quellek’s death. It’s those emotional stakes that elevate Galaxy Quest above slapstick space comedies (Spaceballs being a prime example). The laughs mean something. The laughs are worth more.

He’s one of the main reasons I have seen “BOTTLE SHOCK” maybe 10 + times, and Quigley Down Under, after seeing him for the first time in “DIE HARD”, the year it came out. I’ve seen Galaxy Quest at least 10 times all or in part.

Another Alan Rickman Fan... I see all these actors and recognize where I saw them first--and then come to the realization that I also recognize them from the movie. Oh, this movie is so underrated, as are all the performances, Alan's especially.

[@samiam619]

Didn’t the words “Galaxy Quest” in the title give you some sort of CLUE where you saw them?

[@TesserId]

@@samiam619 That "realization" I mentioned is one of those things that's really hard to express or explain. It wasn't a lack of familiarity with the movie, as I've been familiar with it for some time. And, it's not a lack of familiarity with the actors, as I've been just as familiar with them as I have been with the movie. It's the connection between all those careers and all the work they've done and the way this one movie brings all of that together. It's like seeing the concept of 6 degrees of separation as a map, and on that map this one movie as a vast metropolis connecting all of those careers and all the work those actors have done. Yet, it seems that even this explanation doesn't adequately capture the feeling.

[@jameserasmus7891]

His work speaks volumes about the man, he will be sadly missed by those who knew him as a man of great depth and versatility in acting.

[@abledog006]

It was such an unexpected gem of a movie. It pays a reverential tribute to Star Trek and the fans so well, that to this day it is considered one of the best Star Trek movies, (without actually being S.T.), ever made.

[@tracyleesmith781]

Beside him did Severus Snape role, Alan Rickman was the one of the best actors who made it known to all of us since the 90s. He was an amazing & versatile actor. He will be sadly missed. His death was unexpected but we will never forget his sarcastic & deep voice & his works. Rest In Heaven Alan, always. ❤🙏🏾✌🏾

Alan Rickman was such a versatile actor. I don't think there was a role he couldn't play and more than that, he would own it. He was utterly fantastic in every role but every so often, my romantic side yearns to see Sense and Sensibility. And Galaxy Quest is my Sci-fi comedy favorite. But every movie I've seen him in, was great because he was in it.

[@susanjohnson318]

I own both Galaxy Quest and Sense and Sensibility and watch both of them OFTEN.

[@m.maclellan7147]

"Truly, Madly, Deeply" - written & directed by the late Anthony Minghella. A BBC movie, bit hard to get in U.S.A.. Came out in limited release same time as "Ghost". It never gained traction in U.S.A. due to somewhat similar subject. I never bothered to watch Ghost, "Truly, Madly, Deeply" is my favorite movie of all time. Great on the big screen, great on DVD. Alan is mesmerizing in it.

[@LoveThatPhantom]

As a die hard fan of Alan's for years (and still to do this day). When I found out about his death. I was devastated. I remember I was just getting up and my friend text me and told me he died. I couldn't handle it. I went back into bed and cried for hours. And I never even met the man. But his work, his movies got me through a lot of the pain and torment I went through with bullying in school. So he meant a lot to me. I even got picked on because of Alan. Because he was my favorite actor. But I still loved his acting. You could tell he put his heart and soul in every piece he did. If I was depressed or upset. I would pop in a movie of Alan's and feel better almost immediately. So god bless you, Alan Rickman. And RIP. Your forever missed. By your family, friends, fellow actors, and fans.

I never would have believed upon first viewing, that this would become one of my top five movies of all time, but it after rewatching it so many time, admittedly at first for fun...it is layered, meaningful and rich.

I wish Gene could have seen this movie. When I saw it, I knew little of Alan's work, but I remember how impressed I was by what he brought to the part, and how well he worked with the rest of the cast. In the golden age, this was called "star quality."

[@christophertaylor9100]

He died too young, usually an actor passing makes me shrug because eh, just a guy that plays a part. But Alan Rickman's death hit me really, really hard.

[@Kaptain13Gonzo]

A great actor. Serious funny and a man. He made characters 'come alive'. I saw him in a film of an English Panto (live theatre), peter pan, and he was Captain Hook. the man was perfect. So many movies, so many roles and impeccably acted. But that panto performance showed how he could be serious and ridiculous at the same time. Excellent acting and the role I remember him most for.

Such a wonderful actor, who will always be missed!! Great in all of his rolls, he should have had at least another 20 years to enchant us with his wonderful performances! It still amazes me that his first movie role was in ‘Die Hard’. He owned that role and gave it his all. He was great in ‘Bottle Shock’, ‘Sense and Sensibility’, ‘’Robin Hood: ‘Prince of Thieves’ ( he stole that movie, as I rewatch it just to see him), ‘Love Actually’, ‘Quigley Down Under’, ‘Something The Lord Made’(should have gotten an Emmy), and of course: The Harry Potter movies. He was in others, I haven’t seen them all yet. I was so shocked by his death, it was as if he was a beloved family member! Thanks for sharing this with all of us who will always mourn his passing.

[@bmused55]

The world became a dimmer, less richer in quality, place with Alan's passing. On a lighter note: It is somewhat fitting that the first time I had ever heard of and then saw Galaxy Quest was at a Star Trek Convention in Glasgow, I think it was in 2001. There wasn't a seat free in the massive function suite they had made into a theatre. I loved it and as soon as I found it on sale on DVD, I bought it.

[@blank557]

Rickman never has to shout, or thrash his arms about, or throw the scenery around to show anger. His quiet droll delivery, dryer than the Mojave desert, cuts deep and precisely like a surgeons scalpel. I don't think there is any actor like him at all.

[@aaronmurphy9353]

Galaxy Quest is one of my all time favorite movies, and Alan Rickman is one of my all time favorite actors. He IS missed and will continue to be missed. He was a truly exceptional actor, able to play both Good Guys and Bad Guys with equal awesomeness. My regret is that I never got to meet him in person.

I've been around a few years, nearly 50, and I've read of actors passing here and there, and while some have made me utter phrases like 'oh, that's a shame', never before did I feel a real, genuine gut-punch as the morning i read of Alan's passing. It knocked the wind from my sails and I had to take an early lunch to get get my shit together. I never even met the guy, but that really knocked me for six.
