Anthony Robin McMillan (31 March 1950 – 14 October 2022), known professionally as Robbie Coltrane, was a Scottish actor. He is best known for his role as Rubeus Hagrid in the Harry Potter film series (2001–2011) and as Dr. Edward "Fitz" Fitzgerald in the crime drama series Cracker (1993–1996, 2006).

Coltrane started his career appearing alongside Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry and Emma Thompson in the sketch series Alfresco and The Comic Strip together with people like Peter Richardson and Adrian Edmondson. In 1987, he starred in the BBC miniseries Tutti Frutti with Thompson, for which he received his first British Academy Television Award for Best Actor nomination. Coltrane then gained national prominence starring as criminal psychologist Dr. Eddie "Fitz" Fitzgerald in the ITV television series Cracker, a role that saw him receive the BAFTA Television Award for Best Actor in three consecutive years from 1994. Coltrane and Michael Gambon are the only actors to have won this award three consecutive times. In 2006, Coltrane placed eleventh in ITV's public poll of TV's 50 Greatest Stars. A decade later, he received critical acclaim and a fourth BAFTA Television Award for Best Actor nomination for his performance as a disgraced comedian in the four-part Channel 4 series National Treasure.
