From the article in post #2......
In the 2015 interview, Rickman recounted that he helped shape the role, despite being a novice film actor hired because he would work cheap.
After being fitted to wear a militaristic outfit as leader of a band of terrorists, Rickman suggested that perhaps Gruber could wear a suit, affect an American accent and pretend to be a civilian trapped in the building for a scene with Willis' cop character.
He said he was told, "You'll wear what you're told."
"But then I came back, and they handed me the new script" that included the revisions.
bad ass :bigun:

really hate seeing these solid character actors go.....they`re the straws that really stir the drink(not these smug,pretentious "stars' who believe the world hangs on their every opinion)...good actor...
I agree GW. It's a good thing we still have actors like Marky Mark around to fill that void.
What are you talking about? Mark Wahlberg is a great actor. Great film roles in Boogie Nights, The Departed , The Fighter, Ted, and Lone Survivor to name a few. He's one of the best actors out there, sheesh:facepalm:
