Very sad. I don’t know him as Hagrid but I do know him as Cracker. I’ve always thought that he was a lovely guy. I’ve not seen him on TV for ages.

I met him once in a pub in Edinburgh. He was very easygoing, very charming. I’m sad to hear he’s gone.

I hate it! He was, indeed, too young. There was no one else who could ever have done "Hagrid" to such perfection. Sad!!!

I got chills when we watched that special and he made that statement. And it was less than a year ago. Do you think he knew? Eternal rest grant unto Robbie, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest In Peace. |

Sad news. He will always be Fitz from Cracker to me. I met him at the Barbican during the interval of Kenneth Branaghs Hamlet back in 1992. He was gracious and polite to me and my friends, despite us being giggly and failing to play it cool when talking to him, as we were excited to meet someone off the telly.

I'm sad to hear of his passing. His role as Hagrid was pure delight. One of my favourite characters by far. RIP

I have great memories of watching Cracker with my Mom (who died 3 years ago).
