#104Interesting fact: he got his actual career started remarkably late: http://www.cracked.com/article_19655_5-famous-late-bloomers....
He was a stage actor. His career didn't start with film. This article makes it seem like he was struggling to be a success long after he should have quit. They just have a completely wrong definition of success.

My favourite bit of that movie (Rickman plays Sir Alexander Dane, a proud thespian whose once illustrious career has been destroyed by Galaxy Quest typecasting him into this humiliating role): Jason Nesmith: You WILL go out there. Sir Alexander Dane: I won't and nothing you say will make me. Jason Nesmith: The Show Must Go On. Sir Alexander Dane: ...Damn you.
My favorite part is when they're in front of the supermarket. "... By Grabthar's hammer... what a savings." It's like he's contemplating his entire acting career and questioning how he got to this point in his life.

#106Another great dies at 69 of cancer, days apart. Imagine all of the unknowns who die too early. I really hope we figure this out.

#107I am very sad for this (I am a huge Harry Potter fan), but I can not let pass a curiosity of which this event is part of. Aaron Ramsey (Footballer player for Arsenal, UK) has a reputation for apparently killing off famous people when he scores. Whenever he scores someone famous tends to pass away, of course it is a big coincidence, but he did score yesterday too. Also scored last week, and David Bowie passed away. If…

#108Eight movies of "so much like your father" just so he could deliver the "you have your mother's eyes" line, that one time; and undo all Harry's doubts and fears in that one moment.

But as I know from my work on electronic medical records 2005-2007, most medical software is a godawful clusterfoo if you so much as scratch the gilding on the GUI with your fingernail. So if you have a bit of runway in front of you, there's a lot of money to be made in medical software that even does as little as keeping a unique, secure identity record for 300 million patients.
I obviously don't, or I'd be doing it already.

He didn't get his first stage role until 42. I think the point still stands.
