Very sad news for me.

Coltrane was a favorite of mine, with a unique wit and charm -- to say nothing of an illustrious resumé...

Flash Gordon
Krull
Numerous Blackadder appearances
Mona Lisa
His long stint on Cracker
Henry V
Nuns on the Run
Goldeneye
The World is Not Enough
and of course Harry Potter

Equally at home in both contemporary comedy and Shakespeare...
