Robbie Coltrane [[UsefulNotes/KnightFever OBE]] (born Anthony Robert [=McMillan=], 30 March 1950 - 14 October 2022) was a British actor from Rutherglen, Scotland.

He was probably best known to international audiences as Rubeus Hagrid in the ''Film/HarryPotter'' films and as Valentin Zukovsky in the ''Film/JamesBond'' films ''Film/GoldenEye'' and ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough'', though he was a staple of British film and television before that, from the 1980s until his death.

Getting started in comedy in shows such as ''Series/TheComicStripPresents'', his big break as a dramatic actor was as Dr Edward "Fitz" Fitzgerald, the complex, alcoholic, chain-smoking [[TheProfiler criminal profiler]] in the seminal series ''Series/{{Cracker}}''. Coltrane proved his acting chops in a wide range of roles and productions over his career.
