We lost Rutger. :-( RIP.
I also remember him as Hobo With a Shotgun.
A fine actor. RIP.

He also starred in The Hitcher.
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.”
NOOOOOOOOOO!
One of my favorite actors.
One of my favs!...............Loved him as the blind Vietnam vet who did Kung fu, I forget the name of the movie!...............
Great in Ladyhawke
And the wisecracking blind guy with the sword in Blind Fury.
Iconic. Iconic actor.
I had an acquaintance tell me that he thought “Hobo With A Shotgun” was the best movie role Rutger Hauer had, so I watched it...
I didn’t make it through, because if my wife had come in the room and seen me watching that, she seriously would have wondered if there was something wrong with me!
Needless to say, I took future recommendations from that guy with a grain of salt!
“Like tears in the rain.”
His most iconic performance of one of the most iconic lines of any film. Vangelis’ music track helped a bit too.

Great actor.
RIP
Too darn young!
First, Rutgers University dies at the hands of political correctness. Now, Rutger Hauer dies. Oh, my!

One of my guilty pleasures is Ladyhawke. There's a lot about the film I really like, cheesy 1980's special effects notwithstanding.
We lost Rutger. :-( RIP.
Saw him last in True Blood. He looked about 90. I'm always moved by the scene in Bladerunner when he is crushing the head of his maker and you don't see the gore, but only Roy's face as it transitions from rage, to horror, to despair as he realizes it doesn't make a difference, he's still going to die.
Like tears in the rain...RIP Rutger. You were one Dutch hottie!
The only role of his that disappointed me was as star of Wanted: Dead or Alive.
It was a cheap ploy to play off Steve McQueen, and Hauer seemed miscast to me.
In his best roles he was great. In every role he tried to find a way to make it stand out.
RIP.
He died in 2019 in Blade Runner.
And he died in 2019 in real life!
