Rutger Hauer RIP
 Rutger Hauer January 23, 1944 - July 19, 2019 |
Rutger Hauer, who thralled me with his portrayals of replicants, heroes, villains, and a variety of well crafted characters will be remembered by me personally for his consistent entertaining career which has punctuated my life with many enjoyable moments.
The threads report his 'circuitous' route to acting. They noted his parents who ran an acting school and intervening military hitches.
All in all I'd say it was worth the wait for a catalog as diverse as the horror and macabre through kind and gentleness as well as the staunch hero types overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
Some personal favorites from his work include Blade Runner, The Hitcher, Escape from Sobibor, Nostradamus, Sin City, and Blind Fury.
Rest in peace.
