Bruce's portrayal of John McClane is layered with a working class, every-man approach, making him one of the most relatable action stars/characters in the world. Additionally the late great Sir Alan Rickman, delivers a chilling, subtlety menacing performance in one of cinema's most iconic villains, Hans Gruber.
