Coltrane's more than four-decade acting career included parts in the James Bond movies "GoldenEye" and "The World Is Not Enough" as well as the lead character of criminal psychologist Dr. Edward "Fitz" Fitzgerald in the British TV series "Cracker" from the 1990s.

He was a talented comic actor and a star of Britain's alternative comedy boom in the 1980s. He gained more notoriety in 1987 when he co-starred with Emma Thompson in John Byrne's miniseries "Tutti Frutti," in which he played the tragic lead singer Big Jazza McGlone of the fictitious Scots rock and roll band The Majestics.
