Well, jumpin' Jehoshaphat, I'm glad to hear it. Because I've obsessed over many an obscure actor (for one, Jonathan Pryce. Try describing him to anyone not from England) and am used to people looking at me in confusion. In fact, Rickman might be the most mainstream actor I've ever loved (besides Nicolas Cage, but he was a phase).

Nasal voice? A nasal voice that makes a million women melt and want to have his nasally-voiced babies!
