The Roles Of Alan Rickman Trivia Quiz

Answer: Severus

Severus Snape was formerly on the bad side - he was part of Lord Voldemort's group The Death Eaters, but shortly before Voldemort's downfall, Snape renounced the dark ways and became a double agent for Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts. Snape took up a teaching post in Hogwarts School, teaching Potions class. Albus, Filius, and Rubeus are names of other Hogwarts teachers; Profs Dumbledore, Flitwick, and Hagrid respectively.

Because Snape's character becomes more complex as the books unfold, Alan was given special information on his character from books yet unpublished by J.K. Rowling, to allow him to portray Snape better.

Answer: Falling from a window

Hans Gruber leads a group of terrorists to try to steal $640 million in bonds from Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles. They take a group of partygoers in the building as hostages, including Holly, the estranged wife of NY Detective John McClane, who is there to try to reconcile with her.

Gruber is killed in the climax of the movie when McClane knocks him out of a window; however, he is caught on Holly's watch, and Gruber tries to pull Holly out after him. Luckily, McClane manages to unclasp Holly's watch and save her from falling. For this scene, director John McTiernan dropped Alan Rickman on the count of two instead of three to produce the look of genuine surprise when Gruber falls from the building.

Answer: Sheriff of Nottingham

The Sheriff of Nottingham rules over England, along with two of the incorrect answers of the question - his cousin Guy of Gisbourne, and the Bishop of Hereford. Robin Hood (originally Robin of Locksley) is an English nobleman who was captured, and returns to find his home in ruins and his father murdered by the Sheriff. To get revenge on the Sheriff, Robin joins a band of outlaws named the Merry Men (one of which is the third incorrect answer, Will Scarlet, who is also an illegitimate brother of Robin), and trains them up to defend themselves against the Sheriff.

They also of course rob the rich and give to the poor. Robin vows to avenge his father by killing the Sheriff.

Answer: Dogma

In "Dogma", Metatron comes to a woman named Bethany, to present her with the task of aiding two fallen angels with their return to heaven from Wisconsin, where they are currently exiled. Bethany is the last relative of Jesus Christ.

Answer: Something The Lord Made

The relationship between these two men began in Nashville, Tennessee, in the 1930s, when Blalock hired Thomas to work as a janitor in his lab at Vanderbilt University, before the team moved to Johns Hopkins Hospital, Maryland. Thomas, due to his manual dexterity and intelligence and despite his limited education, became Blalock's assistant and cardiac research partner. Thomas eventually coached Blalock in surgeries to repair the heart defect, having himself performed the procedure on dogs to practise. Sadly, due to his color, Thomas spent a lot of his life being ignored for his work.

However, after Blalock's death, Thomas stayed at the hospital training doctors, and eventually received an honorary doctorate in recognition of his life's work.

Answer: Marvin the Paranoid Android

All are actually characters in the movie, but it's Marvin who Alan voices. In the movie, a human named Arthur finds his house about to be demolished by bulldozers, and his friend Ford reveals that he is an alien from a planet close to the star Betelgeuse.

He also reveals that Earth is going to be destroyed, so the two hitch a ride on a spaceship, which they are thrown out of when they are discovered. They are picked up the ship Heart of Gold upon which they find various creatures, including Marvin and Ford's half-brother.

Answer: Jamie is dead.

Jamie has recently died, and returns as a ghost just as Nina is becoming unable to cope with her grief. It is never explicitly explained whether Jamie has really returned, or whether the whole thing is just in Nina's imagination. Not long after the reconciliation, Jamie's behavior starts to really annoy Nina.

For example, he turns up her heating to very hot levels. Nina meets another man, but doesn't want to pursue a relationship with him while Jamie is still around - Jamie leaves to allow Nina to get on with her life.

It appears he only returned to push her away from him enough so that she would be able to move on from him.
