Miriam Margolyes has paid a heartfelt tribute to Robbie Coltrane as a 'fine actor' who 'towered over Scotland' after the Scot's death at the age of 72.
The BAFTA award-winning actress, who starred alongside the icon Coltrane in her role as Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter film series, took to BBC Radio 4 to pay her respects. Coltrane passed away at Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Falkirk on Friday, October 14.
In the candid interview this morning, the 81-year-old touched upon Coltrane's dedication to the arts, his ability to take on a variation of roles from Danny McGlone in Tutti Frutti to 'Fitz' in Cracker, and his natural charisma.
