There are no words to express how shocked and devastated I am to hear of Alan Rickman's death. He was a magnificent actor & a wonderful man.

Daniel Radcliffe also shared a very poignant tribute about Rickman on his Google Plus account, stating that: 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 Ive ever met in the film industry. He was so encouraging of me both on set and in the years post-Potter. Im pretty sure he came and saw everything I ever did on stage both in London and New York.
