    Google pays unique tribute to Alan Rickman’s iconic Broadway performance with an amazing doodle

    Rickman decided to pursue acting seriously and earned a spot at RADA, one of the most prestigious acting schools in the world...

    Desk:
    Google commemorated veteran actor Alan
    Rickman's stunning Broadway performance that altered his career today, April
    30. The doodle was inspired by Rickman's performance in Les Liaisons
    Dangereuses in 1987. The late actor portrayed the antihero Le Vicomte de
    Valmont.



    Rickman may be seen
    costumed as the character and sporting his signature arched-eyebrow look in the
    doodle. The seasoned actor became well-known for his portrayal of Severus Snape
    in the Harry Potter films.

    In various plays, his deep, seductive voice and boundless charm won him several
    honours. According to the Google Doodle blog, "at the age of 26, Rickman
    decided to pursue acting seriously and earned a spot at RADA, one of the most
    prestigious acting schools in the world."



    "He joined the Royal
    Shakespeare Company a few years later, where he appeared in The Tempest and
    Love's Labour's Lost." He achieved fame in 1985 as the anti-hero Le
    Vicomte de Valmont in the drama Les Liaisons Dangereuses (Dangerous Liaisons).
    "He began receiving offers to act in films after receiving a Tony nomination
    for his performance," the blog continued.

    and Sensibility (1995) and Rasputin: Dark Servant of Destiny (1996), for which
    he got Emmy and Golden Globe nominations.
