1. Is Alan Rickman married?

2. Will Alan Rickman respond if I write to him at the address on your website?

Yes, he does indeed respond to letters sent to him via his agent at the address on the website

3. Can you guarantee a reply?

No.

4. How can I make help make sure I get a reply?

It is polite to send him an additional envelope with your address on it and 2-3 International Reply Coupons (unless you live in the UK, in which case ordinary stamps will be fine). International Reply coupons are available at your post office - ask them for more information. If they don't have any (for example, I have been told that Sweden does not) then send the letter anyway. I have no idea if he will respond or not. I have absolutely NO idea how else to send him stamps from foreign countries, so don't ask me - talk to your post office
(I get this enquiry from the US, Australia, Canada, Japan, Germany, Brazil - all over the world. I probably don't live in your country, so I don't know the finer points of the postal system in each country - you talk to your post office and find out!).

5. Will I get a personal reply?

It would appear that he does not give personal replies. He usually sends a signed black and white photograph like the one shown on the contact webpage - which was obtained writing to the address listed on the contact webpage.

6. How long will it take for Alan Rickman to respond?

never. On average, it seems to take him 4-6 weeks to respond.

8. I notice he has an American address - wouldn't it be better if I write there?

No one, I repeat, NO ONE has EVER got a response by sending a letter to Alan Rickman's Los Angeles address. If you want a response, it is highly recommended you write to his London address. Alternatively, if he currently starring in a movie or play, write to there. However, he is only 'permanent' address is the London one.

No, and even if I did, I would not give it out.

I don't know. I am very busy with other projects. I do have plans for expanding this website, but have no time frame. All you can do is check back occasionally. Other websites with lots of information about Alan Rickman can be found in the "Links" section of the website.
