STATEMENT FROM WB CHAIRMAN AND CEO, KEVIN TSUJIHARA, ON ALAN RICKMAN
“The entire Warner Bros. family is saddened by the news of Alan’s passing. He was an incredibly talented actor long before he played Severus Snape in the Harry Potter films, but through that role, we were all the lucky beneficiaries of one of his most memorable characters. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and condolences are with his loved ones.”
