Robbie
Coltrane, one of Britain's the majority popular comedians who was head of
debating civilization at school and won prizes for his art, is now a film star
who played in two James Bond films and in the "Harry Potter" franchise.
He was born
Anthony Robert Mc Millan on March 30, 1950 , in Rutherglen, a community of Glasgow , Scotland , UK . His father, Ian McMillan, was a
universal surgeon who also worked for police pathology. His mother, Jean, was a
teacher and a pianist. Young Robbie loved of art, music, films and cars. He was
a insatiable reader of his dad's books on medicine and crime. At age 12 he made
his drama debut on stage at Glen-almond College , delivering rants from "Henry
V". At that time he was enthralled with Marlon Brando and Orson Welles.
He attended
Glasgow Art School , majoring in drawing, picture and
film, then deliberate art at Edinburgh 's Moray House College of Education
for a year. In 1973 he completes a documentary titled "Young Mental Health",
which was chosen Film of the Year by the Scottish Education Council. At that
time Robbie took the name Coltrane, due to his love of jazz, and began a career
of a stand-up comic at night clubs, at the Edinburgh Festival, as well as an
actor with Edinburgh 's famous Traverse Theatre.
In 1980
Coltrane made his first appearance on television as "Border Guard" in
BBC's mini-series The Lost Tribe (1980), then complete his big screen first
appearance as a limousine driver in Death Watch(1980). In 1981 he appeared in
his first most significant role as Detective Fritz Langley in Subway Riders (1981),
by well-known subversive director Amos Poe.
He became a
well-known face from side to side appearances in The Comic Strip series, then
in Alfresco (1983) and Comic narrow piece cinema The Supergrass (1985) and The
Pope Must Diet(1991), in the middle of other movies. At that time Coltrane had
a drinking problem, downing as much as a urn of whiskey a day. In 1986 he flew
to a clinic in Mexico and was treated for fatness. In 1987
his associate for 15 years, Robin Paine, left him for good, send-off her
representation in Coltrane's barn.
In 1988
Coltrane met then 18-year-old Rhona Gemmell in a pub. They married and had a
son, Spencer, and a daughter, Alice. His vocation took off throughout the near
the beginning 1990s with the most important role as Dr. Eddie "Fitz" Fitzgerald,
a forensic psychologist, in the well-liked TV series Cracker (1993).
He made
such a good presentation as Valentin Zukovsky, a KGB man twisted St. Petersburg
mafia lord, in GoldenEye (1995) the producers called him rear for the same
nature in The World Is Not Enough (1999). Then Coltrane hit one more profitable
franchise; he was for me selected by J.K. Rowling as her option to play half-giant
Rubeus Hagrid in the 'Harry Potter' films.
In early 1990s
Coltrane wrote an autobiography, "Coltrane in a Cadillac", and also
starred in the eponymous TV series, Coltrane in a Cadillac (1993), in which he
indulges his passion for vintage cars and tells with great humor about his 4000-mile
journey across America from Los Angeles to New York . In 2003 he separated from his wife.
His interests outside of his acting profession has been reading books, and
rebuilding and collecting vintage cars. Robbie Coltrane resides in a converted
farmhouse in Stirlingshire , Scotland , UK .
