Which actor named "Alan" is the best? - Blu-ray Forum

Batman1980 · 05-22-2009, 07:25 AM

Alan Rickman
Allan Alda
Allan Arkin
Rickman for me only because he's absolutely nailed every single role I've ever seen him in.

Woody Allen

Talk about corny threads. This one takes the cake.

Do I have to choose one of your 3? There's no "other" Alan?

For a random sidenote, for the longest time I didn't know who Alan Rickman was and whenever my friend would talk about him being in Harry Potter I was picturing Alan Thicke and it was just baffling me that he would be in Harry Potter. Then when I watched it I was like "whoa, that's not the same guy."

As for the completely random original topic, I would have to go with Alan Arkin. Glengarry Glen Ross. Man we need that movie on Blu.

toef · 05-22-2009, 05:29 PM

I'll go with Alan Young, from Mister Ed.

Diesel · 05-22-2009, 03:37 PM

hawkeye ftw

...thats Alda for the people who don't know

Batman1980 · 05-22-2009, 03:46 PM

Who names their child Benjamin Franklin Pierce?

akadkins · 05-22-2009, 03:47 PM

I'll go a bit further back and say Alan Ladd

Alan Rickman, because as Snape, he tends to clip. his. words. a. lot.

Brandon · 05-22-2009, 08:09 AM

whaa?

SlmShdy1 · 05-22-2009, 08:42 AM

Alan Rickman because he makes me laugh. I still haven't seen Bottle Shock, though.

mjbethancourt · 05-22-2009, 10:16 AM

Out of those three? Rickman. British over-actors crack me up, and the writers always give him the best lines.

P@t_Mtl · 05-22-2009, 10:25 AM

I suppose for me it will have to be Alan Rickman for these 4 reasons,

Hans Gruber in Die Hard

Sherrif Of Nottingham in Robin Hood

Alexander Dane/Dr. Lazarus in Galaxy Quest

Severus Snape in Harry Potter

These four roles alone kick everyone's else butt IMO

Eagle_23 · 05-22-2009, 12:33 PM

Alan Rickman

Pretty much, although I would add Metatron from Kevin Smith's Dogma on that list.

I agree with all of those, and would also add Elliott Marster in Quigley Down Under.
