This is so damn sad to hear. He was a fantastic actor and a great man, it's awful that he's gone.

I didn't know who he was until I looked in the article to see that he played the role of Snape.
Yeah man, Sad to hear about this. He did a fantastic job playing as Snape.

Also, 69? He looked younger than his 50-60 something age in the Harry Potter movies to me.

This ♥♥♥♥ blows. He was a talented actor and seemed like a cool person. And it's also nerving me out that two famous Englishmen died at the age of 69 twice this week. All I'm saying is, please don't go anywhere, Tim Curry.

This honest to god almost made me cry. He was one of my favourite actors and really had a special place in my heart, I mean he was a total inspiration, especially to someone like me who really wants to get into acting more. Why is 2016 already being a ♥♥♥♥♥, I mean ffs we're only 14 days in...give us a break, universe.

Of course it's not wrong, not every celebrity death will have an effect on people. Admittedly this affected me a lot more than David Bowie's death did. In all fairness I rarely feel this sad when I hear a famous person has passed away. About the last time I was this upset was when Robin Williams died, and it's literally just because I was huge fans of both Robin Williams and Alan Rickman.
