Severus Snape lends his voice to Marvin the Paranoid Android

01/17/05
Alan Rickman, who plays Professor Severus Snape in the "Harry Potter" series of films, is about to do the voice of a paranoid alien.

The Brittish actor will lend his voice to Marvin the Paranoid Android in the movie adaptation of Douglas Adams' sci-fi comedy "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,". Operating the mechanical robot suit is fellow "Harry Potter" star Warwick Davis.

"Hitchhiker's Guide" follows the adventures of Arthur Dent (Martin Freeman) after he is the only human to escape the demolition of Earth by the Vogons, who intend to use it for hyperspace freeway development. He joins a ragtag bunch of intergalactic travelers who are trying to discover the meaning of life.

Rickman's most recent films include "Love Actually" and "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban." He next stars in "Hitchhiker," which will open nationwide in May, and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."
