As Galaxy Quest fans know, before Alan Rickman was the serious Severus Snape, he was an absolutely hilarious prosthetic-headgear-wearing pseudo-alien in the 1999 comedy classic.
Following his death, Galaxy Quest fans remembered the late actor for his comedic role in the film (and his iconic Grabthar's hammer line).
May we always remember how brilliantly he played a frustrated actor who was stuck dressing up as an alien at conventions:
And how he delivered scathing lines:
And how he made so many glorious faces:
And how his shade was always on point:
And how you could see the pure disdain in his eyes when he had to hear or say Dr. Lazarus's famous line:
And, finally, how he showed Quellek — Dr. Lazarus's biggest fan — true compassion and friendship by saying that once-hated line as the alien died in his arms:
Alan Rickman, you will be truly, truly missed.
