He Also Did Some Work Behind The Camera
Alan Rickman has proven himself as an actor. It’s no surprise that he eventually decided to try getting behind the scenes. A Little Chaos, the 2014 British period drama, was famously directed by Rickman. The film had a star-studded cast, including Stanley Tucci, Kate Winslet, and even Rickman himself! The story is about a female landscape gardener that gets chosen to build the grand gardens at Versailles. In 2014, A Little Chaos premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Many people probably think acting in a film which you direct wouldn’t be a big deal, but Alan Rickman did not agree. He said the only reason that he played King Louis XIV in A Little Chaos was “economics.” When he was asked what it was like acting under his own direction, he said to Empire that it was “Awful. And I really wouldn’t have done it, but it was economics. They didn’t have to pay that actor. The only thing that made it bearable was having such a close relationship with [cinematographer] Ellen Kuras and traveling in to the set together.”
