(Actor)
Born:
January 23, 1944
in
Breukelen, Utrecht, Holland
Best Known For:
His powerful performance as replicant Roy Batty in sci-fi classic Blade Runner.
Early-life:
Born Rutger Oelsen Hauer on January 23, 1944, in Breukelen, Utrecht, Holland. His parents ran an acting school and, while they were on tour in various plays, Hauer and his three sisters were cared for by a nanny. He became a rebel in his teens and ran away to work on a freight ship, after which he had jobs in the construction industry before studying drama. He was expelled for poor attendance and joined the Dutch Navy.
Career:
After declaring himself mentally unfit for military service, Hauer returned to acting, making his film debut in 1969's Monsieur Hawarden. Film and TV work in his native Holland followed, and by 1981, a series of excellent performances in such projects as Soldier of Orange and Spetters led him to be cast in his first US movie, Nighthawks, opposite Sylvester Stallone. A year later, Blade Runner made him an international star. Films such as Ladyhawke, The Hitcher, and Blind Fury followed. He fell out of favour during the 1990s, following a string of disappointing movies, but has never stopped working. In 2002, he was in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, had a small role in Batman Begins in 2005 and was in season six of True Blood.
