He is also a Scientologist - of the celebrity variety. Read all about Scientology in "Beyond Belief: My Secret Life inside Scientology" by Jenna Miscavige Hill, a niece of the guy running the cult, David Miscavige.

His work is legendary. He spent a lot of time getting in the right spot for perspective and waiting for just the right light conditions, hauling around very heavy and cumbersome yet delicate early photographic equipment to remote wilderness locations.

Default Alan Rickman. Great villain in many movies.

Alan Rickman - Rotten Tomatoes

Really liked how he made the villains in Die Hard, Quigley Down Under and the Harry Potter movies come alive. Professor Severus Snape was a complicated character however.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 (2011) - Rotten Tomatoes
