From Mason Boyne, a flying man in Flash Gordon, Tutti Frutti, Cracker and Hagrid What a career
He was particularly good in the otherwise didn't really work remake of yes Prime Minister

RIP Any ideas what did for him. 72 is not really old these days. Well he was a clinically obese chain smoker. I’d say 72 was a decent knock. Not wanting to be morbid

Not wanting to be morbid Yeah, been expecting this news for years. Sad nonetheless, good ol boy, Robbie, ex posh public school boy with his head firmly screwed on right about what that was all about. Good on yer, Robbie.

Coltrane in a Cadillac was excellent

RIP Outstanding character actor. I once knew Prof David Canter a criminal psychologist who Cracker was based on. An incredibly talented man who we once engaged in the steel industry to give advice on safety and communication issues. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_CanterCanter drew up a psychological profile for a rapist on trains in Surrey in the 80s. When the police caught the guy the profile was incredibly accurate. The Cracker series was written based on the sort of work Canter did.

Haven't seen any mention yet of Robbie's fantastic performance as the 'Spirit of Christmas' in 'Blackadders Christmas Carol' ? If, anyone hasn't seen this yet,(why not ??) I can heartily recommend it, it's on every year & is usually the funniest thing on TV over Xmas RIP Robbie

Integral part of the Comic Strip /alt/ young ones scene era comedy circuit in the early eighties. Some of the performances he gave in that were outstanding. Forget which Comic Strip it was but he was walking on a sea swept pier with water everywhere with a suitcase. Sounds simple but he did it with such panache Also delivered one of the great tv or movie headbuts in the same episode RIP so much more than Hagrid
EDIT - found the walk, its from Supergrass

Great in Blackadder (as every other actor was, in every second - especially the first episodes. Best TV production ever, all categories counted, and will never be beaten.)
Also enjoyed Cracker, for instance.
R.I.P Robbie Coltrane

Also enjoyed Cracker, for instance. R.I.P Robbie Coltrane Was actually thinking the same thing watching that scene again. Every single one of them is masterful. The acting, the writing, the whole feel. Masterful. There is nothing spare in that.
