Actor, comedian and auto-mechanic, Robbie Coltrane has 300 accents at his command and can fix anything from a vintage Cadillac Eldorado to a wonky cigar lighter. Born 48 years ago in Glasgow, Anthony Robert MacMillan is the son of a police surgeon and a pianist. Always a fat boy he developed his rapid wit to divert potential bullies. From stand-up comic to 'Comic Strip' player to film and TV star, Robbie Coltrane found real success in 'Tutti Fruitti' and even more in 'Cracker'. His private life has its wild moments, sometimes attributed to his reaction to the death of one his sisters of a drug overdose while at university.
This is Neil Norman's account of Coltrane and his work, of the process of finding out about someone who you don't know, of living with someone who's in your life but never part of it.
