What a great job he did in those Harry Potter movies. They wouldn't have been the same without him.

Wow. I didn't realize he was in his 70's, but the first Harry Potter movie came out 21 years ago. RIP Robbie Coltrane. He was fantastic as Hagrid.

I was surprised he was only in his early 70s. He's one of those guys that had tons of tiny parts in movies in the 80s and 90s. Quite often I'll watch an older film, and there'll be a surprise appearance by Robbie Coltrane, like just last week I watched Absolute Beginners, and he was in there for two seconds as an Italian deli-owner with a Mario-like accent.
Loved both Cracker and (God help me) Nuns On The Run.

Dammit. This sucks. Loved him in Nuns on the Run and Goldeneye (hated that they killed him off in The World is Not Enough).

Same here! I remember my parents renting Nuns on the Run in the early 90s. I don’t recall thinking it was a particularly great movie but it was my first introduction to both Coltrane and Eric Idle.

I’ve never been a fan of Monty Python. I wouldn’t have given the cast a second thought. 
I suppose if I think back, my first actual exposure to Idle would be National Lampoon’s European Vacation as the bystander who kept getting injured by the Griswolds.

I also saw Nuns on the Run with my parents, probably when I was 12 or so. I enjoyed the movie, but mostly appreciated the boobs in it.
