10 Things You Didn't Know About Alan Rickman

9. He Appears In A Music Video By The Scottish Rock Band Texas

Not content with being a master of the film screen, television screen and stage, Rickman recently appeared in the music video for the song Start A Family by Scottish pop rock band Texas. The song comes from the band's album Texas 25, which was released at the beginning of 2015.

In the video, Rickman is at his most charmingly deadpan, half-singing, half-talking the lyrics while sitting next to Sharleen Spiteri, the front-woman and vocalist of the band. In his usual amazing way, Rickman lends a rough, vulnerable edge to the song. Lit in a blue-red light, Rickman's performance is beautiful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJIaRnsyaIc
