Digital Desk: Scottish actor Robbie Coltrane, who played a crime-solving psychologist on the TV show Cracker and the half-giant Hagrid in the Harry Potter films, has passed away at the age of 72.
Coltrane’s agent, Belinda Wright, said he died on Friday at a hospital in Scotland. She did not give a reason.
Robbie Coltrane rose to prominence as a tough-talking detective in the 1990s television series Cracker, for which he won the best actor at the British Academy Television Awards three years in a row.
He played in all eight Harry Potter movies, which were produced between 2001 and 2011, as the kind-hearted half-giant mentor Hagrid.
Other roles include a Russian crime lord in the James Bond films, Golden Eye, and The World is Not Enough.
Robbie Coltrane gained rave reviews for playing a beloved TV star who may harbor a dark secret in the 2016 miniseries National Treasure.
Belinda Wright said that "as well as being a wonderful actor, he was forensically intelligent, brilliantly witty, and after 40 years of being proud to be called his agent, I shall miss him."
