, a web site run by Adams' official biographer MJ Simpson.
Director Garth Jennings reportedly told BBC Radio 1 just a few days ago that Rickman was to be the voice of Marvin the Android. Davis was confirmed earlier as the actor who will operate Marvin's robotic costume.
In the books, Marvin is a paranoid, terribly sarcastic character who is woefully unconcerned with the world around him. Rickman's casting has not been officially confirmed or announced (we'll keep you posted).
Thanks to Kate for the tip.

How does this relate to Harry Potter? All it is is actors in other movies.

That's cool! I'll bet Harry Potter has really helped their careers along and will really help them in the future. I wish them both luck for any upcoming roles.

Well, that is, umm, interesting.
It's not Harry Potter, though.
But I am happy for them.

I have never heard of that book before. From the description of the character though, I think that Alan Rickman would be perfect for the role. What is the book about? Is it good?

This is one the first times I've seen Rickman do something other than HP. Like, I've seen him do several other movies but it's been a while that he's done a movie besides HP.
