    RIP Rutger Hauer

    Rutger Hauer was in a lot of movies, but as Roy in Blade Runner, he was truly on another level. His performance in that movie was timeless, and for myself and many others, holds a very special place. For those who don't "get" it, hard to really express in words as to the loss here.

    And so it goes.

    I certainly agree with your assessment and sentiment.

    One of my favorite actors.

    Flesh+Blood
    Blade Runner
    The Hitcher

    Should have had him play the German infantry officer in Raiders of the Lost Ark, although Wolf Kahler is a good actor too.

    One of my favorite scenes from my all time favorite movie:

    The “tears in rain” monologue, which was written by Rutger, is one of the greatest.

    Which followed almost immediately after the scene posted above. The interview with Rutger on how he tapped into his own and Roy's "Inner poet" as he called it, is awesome.

    While that is agreeably his best scene he also did an interesting role in Fatherland where he plays a SS major in a future 1964 Germany that didn't lose the war who accidentally learns about the truth about his countries "resettlement" program.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.
