After graduating from RADA, he worked as a dresser for the likes of Nigel Hawthrone, before finding work with the Royal Shakespeare Company. He made his breakthrough in 1986 as Le Vicomte in Les Liaisons Dangereuses , a role which earned him a Tony. Despite his distinguished career, Alan never won an Oscar – he did receive a Golden Globe, Emmy and a BAFTA (for Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves ). But that fact didn’t trouble the star himself. Parts win prizes, not actors, he remarked in 2008. The star leaves is survived by wife Rima Horton . The couple met when they were teenagers, and were married in 2012, 47 years after they first got together. View comments
