Beloved British actor Alan Rickman was mourned by millions after he died from cancer on Thursday, but one of the most heartfelt tributes came from director Kevin Smith.
Rickman, who lost his battle with cancer at age 69, starred in Smith’s 1999 comedy “Dogma” as Metatron, a.k.a. the Voice of God, garbed in a scruffy grey hoodie and angel wings.
“One of my favorite people who ever lived has died,” Smith wrote in a Facebook tribute. “Alan was the first non-friend who signed up to the flick, but he became a great friend in record time.”
