Handsome Dutch actor Rutger Hauer passed away at 75. Making a sensation in the war film Soldier of Orange, he went on to major films and TV including the underrated Nighthawks, Ladyhawke, The Hitcher, The Osterman Weekend (Sam Peckinpah's last film), and his crowning achievement as the replicant in Blade Runner. Who could forget his vicious killer who held a dove at the most poignant moment of that film? He made a great TV movie, Escape from Sobibor and had numerous character roles in films like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Batman Begins, Sin City, and much more. Gone much too soon.
