Hans Gruber in Die Hard (1998)
Long before Alan Rickman was menacing the students of Hogwarts Academy as Professor Severus Snape, he was making life hell for NYPD officer John McClane (Bruce Willis) in 1988's Die Hard. Rickman plays Hans Gruber, the leader of a group of bank robbers who end up taking control of the building where McClane's wife is enjoying a holiday party. While the movie was a milestone for Willis' career, it's Rickman's deliciously evil portrayal that remains the standout performance. Not too shabby for the British actor's first feature film appearance.
