- Alan Rickman dead at 69
- Rickman's most memorable roles
- Emma Thompson's tribute to Alan Rickman
On screen they spent six films locked in a passionate hate for one another, as Professor Severus Snape and Harry Potter, but in life the bond between the late Alan Rickman and Daniel Radcliffe could not have been stronger.
The death of the revered 69-year-old actor has sparked an outpouring of shock and grief from fans and celebrities around the world.
As social media lit up with tributes, Radcliffe, a known-social media introvert, offered a rare insight on the loss of Rickman, who died from cancer on Thursday.
"Alan Rickman is undoubtedly one of the greatest actors I will ever work with. He is also, one of the loyalest and most supportive people I've ever met in the film industry," Radcliffe said in a post on Google+, the only online social network in which he participates.

"He was so encouraging of me both on set and in the years post-Potter. I'm pretty sure he came and saw everything I ever did on stage both in London and New York. He didn't have to do that."
Radcliffe spoke of the perceptions created of actors, as a result of the roles they play.
"It might surprise some people to learn that contrary to some of the sterner (or downright scary) characters he played, Alan was extremely kind, generous, self-deprecating and funny.
And certain things obviously became even funnier when delivered in his unmistakable double-bass."
Radcliffe was just 10 years old when he made his on-screen debut in the first Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

For nearly the entire series by author J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter (Radcliffe) and Severus Snape (Rickman) have a poisonous relationship, spurred by Snape's childhood hate for Potter's deceased father, who bullied him as a child.
But whatever the storyline, off-screen, Radcliffe said his time working with Rickman had shaped his career.

"As an actor, he was one of the first of the adults on Potter to treat me like a peer rather than a child. Working with him at such a formative age was incredibly important and I will carry the lessons he taught me for the rest of my life and career," he said.
"Film sets and theatre stages are all far poorer for the loss of this great actor and man.
"
Normally a social media-introvert, Daniel Radcliffe has used Google+ to farewell the late Alan Rickman.
Others from the Harry Potter franchise shared their condolences on social media.
Rowling said her thoughts were with Rickman's family.

"We have lost a great talent. They have lost part of their hearts," she said.
In a Facebook post she shared in a picture on Twitter, former co-star Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger, expressed her own sadness at the loss of the actor.
"I'm very sad to hear about Alan today. I feel so lucky to have worked and spent time with such a special man and actor. I'll really miss our conversations. RIP Alan. We love you.

how Daniel Radcliffe's career developed
In honor of the twentieth anniversary of Harry Potter, we are talking about the career of Daniel Radcliffe.
Was this role a gift for him or, as often happens with child actors, a curse?

Daniel Radcliffe's career may not be as unusual as some of his other young Potter counterparts, but it's not boring or predictable either. While Emma Watson is trying to become a media goddess, trying on all the modern images of ideal protagonists, and Rupert Grint has completely retrained into a serial supporting actor, Radcliffe seems to be under the curse of the “good guy”, which he is persistently trying to get rid of. He has not been talked about as Harry Potter for a long time, but still the shadow of the main role in the epic fantasy series that has raised more than one generation of fans, no, no, and will appear in some of his works.

Will the war with Harry Potter become eternal? What is in common between this image and some other, "adult" roles of Radcliffe? In what films does he feel most organic? Now we'll tell you everything.
The Boy Who Lived
Prior to the Potter films, Daniel Radcliffe played young David in the TV series David Copperfield and had a cameo role in The Tailor from Panama. Many actors had to play "just" children in childhood in films where at least some child is needed for one and a half lines and one innocent look, but young David Copperfield is a completely different story. It cannot be said that this is an ordinary childish role and Daniel did not bring anything to it, except for a cute face. No, he's the last thing comely here: this is Freddie Highmore for you and not Elijah Wood. He plays a very restrained child, whose inner life is much more interesting than the outside. This David Copperfield is a fast learner and aware of the terrible reality around him.
Oddly enough, but his slightly sleepy look, restrained role pattern and behavior practically devoid of bright emotional outbursts will become, to some extent, Radcliffe's calling card. nine0003
It is possible, by the way, that it was this feature of the role of Daniel Radcliffe that attracted both the casting director and JK Rowling herself. In the cinema, Harry Potter is a clear introvert, especially at first he hides his feelings and reflection from others, a bit reminiscent of Frodo Baggins from another major film franchise of the 2000s - The Lord of the Rings. Only Elijah Wood interprets his character as an intelligent neurotic, acutely experiencing all the critical situations that happen to him, while Daniel Radcliffe’s attitude is completely different: in the best moments of his role, he is silent, reserved and makes decisions calmly, only for a moment or two revealing to the viewer his inner world. Unfortunately, the director's settings were far from always combined with the inner pace of the actor, and in certain scenes Daniel repeatedly had to play violent passions alien to him.
Although, despite this, it is worth noting that the teenage Potter turned out to be much deeper than the Potter child: largely because with age, Daniel Radcliffe developed acting self-awareness and he learned to work with the material given to him. nine0003
But there was something that influenced his career much more than individual bad scenes in different films of the series. This is the role of the chosen one. Of course, Harry Potter must be decisive, and, of course, in the books themselves, closer to the end of the saga, the hero is more and more often revealed as the one without whom victory over the Dark Lord is impossible. And in itself, the role of the chosen one does not mean at all that the hero should gallop across the prairies with a gun at the ready, he may well be an introvert, like Luke Skywalker, Burton's Alice, Neo or the same Frodo Baggins of Peter Jackson. But this role leaves little space for the inner development of the characters, constantly placing them in critical situations, so that the action eventually prevails over everything else.
The chosen ones most often become symbols that are closed to the audience and mainly perform a purely mechanical scenario function. Of course, this is not always the case, but that is exactly what happened with Harry Potter. nine0023
THIS IS INTERESTING
Daniel Radcliffe and other stars who struggled with addictions
At the time of filming the first part of Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe was only 11 years old. After the release of the film, the actor gained popularity, but he was still too young and was emotionally unprepared for world fame. During his life in London, Daniel felt great pressure from the public and an unhealthy interest in his person. To relieve tension, the actor began to drink. Over time, while drunk, Radcliffe began to be noticed on the set of Harry Potter. Thanks to the help of his inner circle, in 2010 Daniel finally managed to get rid of the addiction. nine0003
1 of 5
Since the role somehow became a cult one, Daniel was invited to roles with similar characteristics.
They didn't intersect at the application level (an undercover cop, an inventor's assistant, a random layman surviving in South America), but they give the actor tasks similar to those on the set of Harry Potter: to play a special person, chosen for which - or an important mission that he undertakes to carry out against his will. This is Joseph Campbell's classic Hero's Journey: a storytelling structure that claims that all stories are based on a monomyth. There are many actors who can create unusual images within this concept, but it obviously does not suit the adult Daniel Radcliffe: being tied to external non-stop action, this structure does not provide interesting variations within the framework of the classic three-act scenario, while Radcliffe is most revealed in films with non-standard plot structure. nine0023
It is also worth remembering the films in which the actor starred in parallel with his work in Harry Potter. A large workload did not allow him, of course, to often participate in other projects, but in two years - in 2007 and 2008.
- He played in the films "December Boys" and "My Boy Jack". The choice of a seventeen-year-old, older-looking Radcliffe to play the role of an orphan teenager in The December Boys seems a little odd, but the film gave Radcliffe much more opportunity to show the awkwardness and quiet but tumultuous coming of age of an awkward teenager facing life's first problems than a Potterian. There is a vivid scene of the character's hysteria in the film, but it is solved differently than similar scenes in the famous saga: Karta's rage is not spontaneous, it is the accumulated resentment and fatigue of a person whose gradual boiling the audience sees during the film. Perhaps the fact that he was not the main character of the story and could develop his character without the burden of "the same actor who will definitely go to the movies" played a role. nine0003
In My Boy Jack, Radcliffe also does just fine without the Harry Potter print. Jack in his performance is very different from Harry Potter, if only because he is a victim of circumstances, practically unable to cope with them on his own.
And it's not even just that Jack is not the main character of the film, despite the fact that this is the story of his mother, he could well be an active character. But Daniel Radcliffe builds the architectonics of the image in such a way that Jack, having a far from passive character, turns out to be an adult child separated from his mother and found himself in martial law. This work is very often, unfortunately, criticized for the spinelessness of the image of Jack, but in this case, the character's confusion in an extreme situation, in which no person should find themselves in a good way, is taken for spinelessness. And this is the survival of the greenhouse child Daniel shows. nine0003
After "Harry Potter"
Roles like Harry Potter always take actors hostage, and they have to fight its shadow for many years, proving with varying success that they are capable of more. There is nothing unusual and unpredictable in this, it is quite logical that this exhausting struggle eventually led Radcliffe to alcoholism.
But he was more fortunate than many others (remember Macaulay Culkin): in the ten years that have passed since the release of The Deathly Hallows, Radcliffe has played several memorable roles, mostly in author projects. The calculation is clear: in order to get rid of Harry's shadow, it was necessary to choose films that can reveal his acting potential, show everything that he is capable of. And the more unusual and brighter the role, the better! nine0003
After the not-so-successful "Woman in Black" pretending to be a Victorian film noir, Daniel Radcliffe played in "A Young Doctor's Notebook". This role unexpectedly showed the actor from a new side: it turned out that he can play inspired enthusiasts no worse than introverted silent ones. Moreover, he turned out to be an excellent comedian, although the series is not too funny, but Daniel Radcliffe has enough self-irony to make the viewer smile, watching the naive hero clash with monstrous reality. He easily moves from comedy to drama: it is hard and unpleasant to look at a young morphine doctor.
Radcliffe does not romanticize drug addiction (the director does this a little through a special editing of scenes with morphine taking), his hero is scary and pitiful in withdrawal. Radcliffe's famous "blank" look takes on a special meaning in these scenes: what might at first seem like a lack of acting personality turns out to be a complete loss of the character's personality. nine0003
It would seem that this role should have been a logical transition to the role of Allen Ginsberg in the film Kill Your Darlings. But, oddly enough, the origins of this image lie not in the dramatic images of Radcliffe ... but in the Potterian. The fact is that Ginsberg in this film is solved literally like Harry Potter in later films: on the one hand, he is a shy teenager, on the other, he enjoys the adventures of his youth and together with his friends. It even has its own nemesis archenemy: it’s true that this is not a character, but growing up, but it comes just as inexorably and frighteningly as He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
nine0003
From 2013 to 2015, Radcliffe didn't have much luck with roles. He continued to work despite the struggle with alcoholism. Daniel tried his hand at various genres: rom-com (“Friendship and No Sex?”), sci-fi thriller (“Horns”), historical fantasy (“Victor Frankenstein”), drama based on real events (“Absolute Power”, but all these the pictures passed almost imperceptibly. In none of these roles does the actor show the highest class. "Horns" let down a weak script, the sluggish development of an interesting plot leaves almost no space for the actor to play, in "Victor Frankenstein" Daniel Radcliffe's acting style came into conflict with caricature -James McAvoy's bright looseness. The Tipping Point looks a little better, where Daniel plays a man who tried to sue a series of GTA games, but eventually lost his lawyer license. And although the Tipping Point is filled with Hollywood clichés, it was in him that Daniel's talent manifested itself most clearly Something similar should have happened to his character in Absolute Power in 2016, but nothing happened: the film has a weak script, and Radcliffe was supposed to play another quiet, smart boy chosen for a special mission.
"Harry Potter", only without the fantastic element. nine0023
However, in 2016, a very important event for the career of Daniel Radcliffe takes place. It sounds ridiculous, but he plays a farting corpse in Daniel Shatner and Daniel Kwan's Swiss Army Kwan comedy. The role of a farting corpse sounds absurd, and it is obvious that such films rarely attract the attention of a mass audience. But nevertheless, a miracle happened. Sorry for the spoiler, but Radcliffe's corpse isn't exactly a corpse; Plus, this is a non-trivial and interesting task for an actor. It is difficult to reproduce the plasticity of a stiff body, it requires professionalism. And most importantly, Daniel Radcliffe, it is he, as an actor, and not as a script unit, is incredibly funny. The body could be played simply as a body, but in a strange way the actor adds a characteristic to a piece of carrion: you cannot confuse this corpse with another in the cinema. nine0023 In addition, Daniel Radcliffe's famous look is a little bit reminiscent of Mozzhukhin's face in the "Kuleshov effect", when different shots were mounted to a neutral face, and this seemed to change his expression.
Radcliffe's look can be annoying with its neutrality, but here it turned out to be not only appropriate, but delightfully funny.
After passing roles in Absolute Power and The Jungle, Daniel plays himself in Wild Adventures in London (comedy again!) hits the hilarious Akimbo Guns. Daniel Radcliffe feels incredibly well the dynamics of absurd comedies: he masterfully manages to convey the fright of a person who finds himself in the wrong time and place. Like it was in "My Boy Jack", but with more comedy - and, it seems, more involvement of Daniel Radcliffe in the process. nine0003
But the biggest revelation over the past few years has been the role of Radcliffe in the TV series Miracle Workers, which presents the work of the Heavenly Office in an ironic way. Daniel plays God's helper, the weak-willed and cowardly angel Craig. Radcliffe has already shown himself to be a good comedian with a developed sense of self-irony, but before he had to play such a cartoonish loser.
In many series, such a character then manifests his heroic essence - in "Wonderworkers" nothing like this happens. Yes, Radcliffe's character has its own dynamics, but he doesn't become a hero, but remains an ordinary employee in a rather unpleasant job. And Daniel perfectly guides Craig through all three seasons, revealing his character, but remaining consistently funny. nine0003
What will be next?
In 2020, Daniel Radcliffe played a prisoner preparing to escape from prison in the ordinary action movie "Escape from Pretoria". Unlike other similar films with the participation of the actor, director Francis Annan did not emphasize Radcliffe's masculinity, putting him at a disadvantage, but, on the contrary, emphasized the fragility and intelligence of his character. Tim Jenkin turned out to be a charming guy, ready, despite his far from heroic constitution, to go to the end, fulfilling his plan. It's not "The Shawshank Redemption" but quite "The Man on Death Ride" only with a lot of unexpected plot twists.
nine0023 Now Daniel is filming in three parallel projects. Two of them are costume-historical dramas, nothing definite can be said about one more. Daniel has long outgrown Harry Potter and has shown himself to be a versatile actor. Perhaps he lacks concentration a little, but, on the other hand, this is a side effect of his incredible hard work: when you shoot a lot, it is logical that you will have a wide range of roles (unless, of course, you are an actor of one role). Some roles turn out a little better, some a little worse, but in all of them you can feel the personality of the performer - at the same time a subtle, intelligent and reserved person and a person with amazing self-irony, sometimes reaching self-abasement. He has done well in dramas, comedies, sci-fi and who knows what else, not to mention the fact that he is an amazing theater actor (this is worth talking about separately). nine0023
He is desperate. He's funny. He's sad. He is penetrating.
He is confused. He is determined.
He is different. You can love him at least for that.

Radio MOSCOW/Sputnik August 22 Actor Daniel Radcliffe commented on the possibility of participating in a possible new film from the Harry Potter saga.
Earlier, the head of WarnerMedia Jason Kilar did not rule out the appearance of a new picture based on books about the famous wizard. Radcliffe, in an interview with SiriusXM on the YouTube channel, said that regarding participation in on the set of the Harry Potter film, no one contacted him. “Oh, no, that didn’t happen. As far as I remember, it was a hypothetical question – who would I want to play in the sequel,” said Radcliffe. The actor emphasized that rumors periodically pop up in the media about the continuation of the film series. that Radcliffe is 31 years old. Short and to the point. Only selected quotes in our Telegram channel. nine0003
