Actor Stephen Fry and author JK Rowling have lead a string of poignant tributes to the late Robbie Coltrane, after his sad death was announced on Friday at the age of 72. The Scottish star, whose real name is Anthony Robert McMillan, was best known for playing the beloved Hogwarts gamekeeper Hagrid and starring as criminal psychologist Dr Eddie ‘Fitz’ Fitzgerald in ITV’s crime drama Cracker. He tragically passed away at Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Larbert, near Falkirk in Scotland, his agent of 40 years Belinda Wright confirmed on Friday.
Following the sad announcement many stars and fans rushed to social media to pay their respects to the talented actor, with Stephen Fry leading the way as he recalled his own memories of working with the actor in the comedy series Alfresco. “I first met Robbie Coltrane almost exactly 40 years ago,” Fry tweeted. “I was awe/terror/love struck all at the same time.
Such depth, power & talent: funny enough to cause helpless hiccups & honking as we made our first TV show, ‘Alfresco’. “Farewell, old fellow. You’ll be so dreadfully missed.” Harry Potter author JK Rowling then also paid tribute to Robbie, as she wrote: "I'll never know anyone remotely like Robbie again." "He was an incredible talent, a complete one off, and I was beyond fortunate to know him, work with him and laugh my head off with him.
