Alan Rickman discusses plans for life after Potter
The actor who plays Severus Snape recently spoke with Boston.com while promoting his new film Nobel Son. The reporter asked him a couple questions about his involvement with the Potter films:Q. Do children recognize you as Harry Potter's Severus Snape? A. Not really, because I'm generally not walking around wearing a black wig.
Q. "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" comes out in July, and later in the year, you'll begin filming the series' final installment, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." How do you feel knowing that the end is in sight?
A. It means that I'll be able to do more theater as an actor. I couldn't really because I never know what my commitment could be.
Q. Would you ever do another film, knowing it could be six sequels?
A. Only if I was provided with a wheelchair and an oxygen tank.
Thanks to Scot for the tip.

1st? I love Alan Rickman.
I love Alan Rickman too. I'm eager to see his role in the upcoming films!
Oh Alan! I'm going to miss you after the movies are over!
Does Mugglenet know that Emma Watsn is the voice of Princess Pea in the new movie The Tale of Desperaux? Cause their email won't work.
Ganger345: Yeah they've posted a few stories regarding it. Isn't the new Alan Rickman movie called Nobel Son, not Noble Son?
Alan Rickman is a great actor. He is one of my favorites. He is exactly how I pictured Snape. He adapts his character from the book to the movie better than any other in my opinion.
Alan Rickman is a fantastic actor. I'll really miss him playing Snape. He's the male actor who can make his character seem real.
I like him in all the characters he had made and the ones for the future I sure I will love for sure.
lol.. i love his las answer... he is seriously the best actor i have ever seen in the hp movies... ill miss him :(
It is a pity that we will have to wait until July in order to see Alan's brilliant interpretation of Severus Snape in the next Harry Potter movie. He is so convincing that I even overlook my wife's infatuation with the character.
Oh Alan Rickman, you do make me giggle! Bravo, sir, bravo.
Love, love, love Alan. He is my favorite actor of all time!
Oh Alan Rickman, you're so subtly snarky. XD
wheelchair and oxygen tank........eh..........y ou are not that old Alan.
I loooove Alan and his portrayal of Snape in the films. He does an awesome job of capturing Snape's personality and strange mannerisms... I love it. I will miss him so much after the films are over.
I love Alan Rickman. He's got a great sense of humour. It's too bad we have to wait until next July to see HBP. I'm also infatuated with Snape. They picked Alan perfectly. He's absolutely marvelous as Severus. He makes the Character come alive. He's what attracts me as an Adult. if he hadn't played Snape, I doubt I'd still be watching the movies. He makes it worthwhile for Adults to watch the films.
I dont care what he does, to tell you the truth, as long as he finishes all the Harry Potter films!
Oh my god, Alan Rickman is SO hot its not even funny. He pwns EVERYONE else in the movies. He is SOOOO EFFING HOT. I've seen like all his movie. I love him. He is so awesome as Snape. :)
Thanks tjd8591. I wasn't sure cause I couldn't recall seeing anything on it, but I guess I just missed the stories.
i really look forward to seeing nobel son which comes out in a few weeks but the half-blood prince movie... i really CAN'T wait for it to see alan, just seeing him in the trailers is enough to make me shout out loud. it's going to be epic... I hope he picks up doing more films!
Hahaha - he's hilarious! :D
Alan Rickman is cool. By the way, its been annoying me that the Trailers have NO MENTION of the potions book. The movie is called Half Blood Prince!!!! Maybe the book was in the trailers and I just haven't watched them enough???
He was awesome in Die Hard.
I work at a theatre and I've seen the big cardboard standee for this movie for a couple of weeks and I can't wait to see it! I do love Alan Rickman's work, ever sicne seeing him in Die Hard. And I cannot wait to see HBP! The trailers look awesome!
*sighs* Alan Rickman is made of awesome.
lol, it must be aggrivating to do seven (well eight) movies.
psssssffff.... I just pictured Snape in a wheelchair haunting Harry for years after the war making nasty remarks with a wheezing voice.
omg! i love alan rickman because he's such a great actor and knows how to place an essence fear into his characters!
hahaha!!! wow, his last answer made me cry of laughter. he's so great.
^_^ ohh mr.rickman...if only you knew...haha So on the Bonnie Hunt show today, she had Bill Pullman on to talk about Nobel Son.... hey bonnie.... EPIC FAIL ON YOUR PART...*shakes head* i mean i do love Bill, but she should ahev had on Alan...and trust me, I let her know....If you have an acount on the site for the show, you can call in and leave her messages....and i did.... ^_^ haha I cant wait to see Nobel Son, I already have ticket for the first showing this friday ^_^
"Only if I was provided with a wheelchair and an oxygen tank." That's the same thing that Richard Harris said to David Letterman shortly before he died :(
