Robbie Coltrane, star of Harry Potter and Cracker, dies aged 72
The Guardian
|October 15, 2022
Robbie Coltrane, whose acting career spanned everything from Bond films to Cracker and Harry Potter, has died aged 72, his agent said yesterday.
Born Anthony Robert McMillan in the prosperous Glaswegian suburb of Rutherglen, Coltrane was educated at Glenalmond college, an independent boarding school whose corporal punishment he described as "legalised violence", before going to the Glasgow School of Art.
He had second thoughts about his ability as a painter and switched to live performance, acting in radical theatre companies (including from San Quentin state prison) and doing standup, taking the pseudonym Coltrane as a homage to the celebrated jazz musician John Coltrane.
His first screen credit was Waterloo Sunset, the Richard Eyre-directed Play for Today in 1979, in which he played opposite Queenie Watts' care-home escapee. Thereafter, he had small appearances in films and TV shows, including Flash Gordon, Are You Being Served?, Krull and Britannia Hospital, his distinctive appearance and sheer bulk helping him stand out from the crowd.

Theatre review Dissection of the American dream speaks loudly now
In 2014, the director Ivo van Hove’s Young Vic production of Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge drew comparisons to monumental Greek drama. Lightning has struck twice with this magnificent, shuddering production that perfects the art of doing less for more effect and is staged at the same West End venue to which its predecessor transferred.
