Tom Hiddleston Was 'Inspired' by Alan Rickman's 'Playfulness' in 'Die Hard'

Those are all characters that are about control and revenge ... I might just have loved those performances as a child. I just was so drawn to those performances, as they seemed to be having such a wonderful time playing these antagonists, I suppose. And that was part of the charm. They were so charismatic, even though they weren't at the center of those films.
