Dear alan, We've never met. We never would have.. But i deeply love your work. I found you as Snape in hp, and.. i remember thinking - 'damn, that's a beautiful cloak.' You've done many fine roles, you had a heart of gold.. and somewhere, i wonder if you ever realised the impact you've left across continents. Across so many young children, women, and everyone. Wherever you are, rest easy, king. I love you, even from a stranger. Always🩷
