Bummer... he was so awesome in a few really iconic roles - Roy Batty in Blade Runner among my favorite movie roles of all time. He’s one who never seemed to really reach his full potential as a huge star, in my opinion...

Ya. He ended up basically a star of B movies, after awhile. A shame, as "Rutger Hauer" will sell a movie to me more than any of the current generation of stars.
RIP

Yeah he had some B movies, had some good feature roles...Roy Batty certainly stands out.

Even if it was low budget, Hauer could elevate whatever he was in. Just watched Hobo With a Shotgun.

An over the top spoof of grindhouse films. Bonus points for reuniting with Brian Downey, aka Stanley Tweedle from Lexx.
Which reminds me of a bit of personal trivia. It was the appearance of Rutger Hauer in Season One that turned me on to Lexx, one of my favorite sci-fi shows of all time.

I also liked him in Wedlock.
