Peter Bradshaw talks about Robbie Cochet

Robbie Cochet's acting career covers everything from Bond movies to cookies to Harry Potter, he has passed away at the age of 72.

His agent confirmed the news on Friday.

Coltrane was born in Anthony Robert McMillan of Luthergren, a suburb of Glasgow. Before entering Glasgow Art Institute, he received his education at Glenalmond College, whose corporal punishment he described as "legitimate violence". He had a new idea of ​​his ability as a painter and turned to live performances, performing and doing talk shows at radical theatrical companies, including the troupe of the San Quentin State Prison, with the alias Coltrane as a tribute to the famous jazz musician John Coltrane.

His first screen work was Waterloo Sunset in Drama Today directed by Richard Al in 1979, in which he played Queenie Watts’ nursing home escapee. Since then, he has made a small number of appearances in movies and TV shows, including Gordon, the Flash, are you served? , Kruel and Britannia Hospital, his unique appearance and massive body helped him stand out from the crowd. Kechuan's comedy skills began to dominate because he succeeded in TV skits such as The Open Air and Kicking the Eighties in the early 1980s. These brought him firmly into the school of alternative comedy in the 80s with Ben Elton, Emma Thompson, and Rick Mayal - an identity reinforced by his frequent participation in comic presentation films, including five madness, beat generation and bullshit in Dorset.

Robbie Cochon: "I don't talk nonsense"

However, Cochon's ability as an actor is becoming more and more obvious, and he achieved considerable success with Tutti Frutti in 1987, a Bafta award-winning TV series written by John Byrne, about a scrubbed Scottish rock band. Cochet finds himself increasingly sought after for playing a bigger role in high-profile projects, from Derek Jarman's Caravaggio (where he plays cardinal ) to Falstaff in Kenneth Branagh's Henry V. However, it was two religious-themed comedy films—The Nun on the Escape and The Pope Must Die—that pushed Cochetto into the position of the leading actor and brought him to the map of the United States.

Corchuan's promotion was confirmed by his role as the crime psychologist "Fitz" Fitzgerald in Jimmy McGovern's TV series "Cookies", which first aired in 1993. Fitzgerald is a provocative non-comedy character, a groundbreaking creation: his work is excellent, but his personal life is a mess. Kechuan won the Best TV Actor Bafta Award for this role in 1994, 1995 and 1996. Fitzgerald's addictive lifestyle also reflects the actor's lifestyle: Coltrane admits he was drunk in the 1980s and still remains famously aggressive, once threatening to beat Pierce Morgan in a London restaurant. He then found himself in two Bond films, Golden Eye and The World Not Enough, playing the morally ambiguous KGB agent Valentine Dmitrovic Zukovsky.

Corchuan alternated in his mid-career roles in luxurious Hollywood productions (Info in Bottle, Twelve from Hell, Ocean) and made easy appearances on TV (Alice in Wonderland, The Gruffalo). He also indulged his interest in classic cars in the 1997 Coltrane's Aircraft and Auto Series.However, he found himself at the school guard at Hogwarts, Ruber Hager ranked top in the casting in JK Rowling's Harry Potter movie series. The first Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone , released in 2001, won a new audience for Cochetto from young fans and helped him reactivate his career, especially on British TV. In 2009, he played investigative detective DI Hain in David Pirie's "Harvested Land", and he received good reviews as a TV star accused of sexual abuse on the 2016 Channel 4 show "Handle National Treasure ".

Corchuan married sculptor Rona Germel in 1999, but they separated in 2003. They have two children.
