When the whole entertainment world (fans included) mourned the death of Alan Rickman ("Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," 2001) in 2016, one of the things many pointed to was his voice. Vox.com writer Caroline Framke called it "one of the best voices ever to appear on film."

And while most, when they imagine it, will think of a very posh and polished English accent, that wasn't the only one he could do. It's just the only one most directors wanted of him.
