Here is where I start obsessing about Benedict Cumberbatch. he is a British actor who started in the theater roles and which led to various acclaimed roles in movies. He made the BBC Sherlock Holmes series something amazing and something I look forward to for the third season. I CAN'T WAIT!!!! Looks like my post- Potter depression won't take a toll on me. I hope he has further roles in films throughout the years so I could watch him get better and better as an actor. I mean he is great already and dedicated no doubt. But there is more seniority required to land a pivotal role.
My research is continuing and I hope to get more done tomorrow. Really I am feeling tired after a long trip to my favorite university, Yale :)
The interview ent well I guess. i mean I spoke clearly and was myself. I didn't have to lie about anything. I have gone through three years in Stuyvesant with honesty, never cheated on a test. I know I can work hard for anything I set my heart on.
Okay off to listen to music and then sleep! Tomorrow another attempt at saving the world from poverty and disease!
Till then bye bye!!

Alan Rickman Alan Rickman is one of my favorite actors. I cannot say much more other than that because...just because. His acting is so superb and so real that it makes my sides feel thorns creeping up.
His acting needs no accompanying music, simply his expression and his deep embrace of the character he is in. That is a true artist, one who is so experienced and so persistent in his efforts to be good at the role he is in. The artist who can hide their true self behind every new mask their character requires is truly versatile.
He will always be best Severus Snape, ther can be no remake of the movie or his role in them.
When Harry kneels down next to him after Snape succumbs to his wounds, the timeless expression of love for Harry makes me want to cry. I want to tell myself it is only a movie, and that these are only people, who are the same flesh and bone. But that is what makes human experiences so special. We were born with a face with which to carry out all of our emotions... but what happened on the screen touched my heart.
