Rutger Hauer R.I.P.

[StimpyWan]

Rutger Hauer has passed away, after a short illness. He was 75.

One of my favorite actors.

Per Guillermo del Toro:

"RIP the great Rutger Hauer: an intense, deep, genuine and magnetic actor that brought truth, power and beauty to his films. My personal favorites: Flesh + Blood, Eureka, The Hitcher, Blade Runner, Ladyhawke and Blind Fury."

My thoughts exactly.

R.I.P.

Before “the man in the High Castle”, there was “Fatherland,”
and Rutger was brilliant in that. and as Batty in BladeRunner - superb!
RIP, sir.

Rutger Hauer was so good as Roy Batty. Iconic. He stole every scene he was in. I was so interested in seeing more of Batty's story, I was almost disappointed with the rest of the movie, after Batty's moving death.

A good obit in Variety.

RIP Rutger

And Vangelis did the music for Blade Runner. Not too shabby, for either film!

Just 75 years old - too early... *sigh* May he rest in peace.


hjames: Yup, he also did a good job in "Fatherland" - but also in "Split Second", which hasn't been mentioned yet.


Greetings from Munich!

Loved him in Blade Runner.

Saw him on True Blood several times.

RIP. We had black / white TV when I was young, and I liked watching "Floris" youth TV series. It is nice I can watch again since we have the internet now...

RIP Rutger. I haven't seen his other movies, but Blade Runner will always be a classic.
