We caught up with veteran actor Alan Rickman at Gen Art Cinema Circle in New York. In the new twisted familial drama, NOBEL SON, he plays pompous chemistry professor Eli Michaelson. On the eve of the announcement that he will win the Nobel Prize, Elis son Bryan, an expert in cannibalism, is abducted from the university where he is seeking his PHD. What follows is a dark and complex tale of secrets and deceit surrounding the scholarly family unit.

Here Alan talks about balancing his life in theater with his life on the screen.
