I ran a group website on reviews of Rickman’s work until I found out about his vile politics. That was that.

I have made my point and will now shut up.

I loved him in “Sense and Sensibility” too and – oh heck, I’ll admit it – “Love Actually,” though that was a smaller part without a lot of acting challenge. He had real on-screen chemistry with Emma Thompson.

I’m not familiar with Galaxy Quest, but have heard it mentioned quite a bit in today’s tributes to Rickman. Will have to add it to the Netflix list.

RIP.
