Rutger Hauer, the prolific Dutch actor who played the murderous Roy Batty in 1982’s “Blade Runner” and whose other American TV and film credits included “Batman Begins” and “Sin City,” has died. He was 75.
“We at Starfish will always cherish the many unforgettable memories we have of Rutger and his dedication to the Rutger Hauer Starfish Assn.,” Wednesday’s announcement said. “One of Rutger’s last wishes was that Starfish should continue its charity activity and its fight against the AIDS disease, and with [his wife] Ineke’s precious help, involvement and direction we will follow Rutger’s wish and will do our best to carry on Rutger’s inestimable legacy.
“Because this is where I want to work, and to have a career here, I must be able to play Americans,” he told. “Every actor is limited by his looks and his ability, so why be limited by an accent too?”Up to that point, he portrayed foreigners in his 1980s films -- a terrorist in “Nighthawks” with Sylvester Stallone, a French count in “Eureka” with Gene Hackman, a German in his starring vehicle “Inside the Third Reich” and a Frenchman in the medieval fantasy “Ladyhawke.
If you thought he was the villain, you didn’t understand Blade Runner. If you thought he was an alien, you didn’t WATCH Blade Runner.

Denkjewel
😢RIP may your memory be a blessing
A fucking Alien? Jeez
If Latimes can’t report simple facts correctly, how are journolists to be trusted on any issue? Roy Batty was not an alien.
He was not an alien but a replicant. Jeez, who's the social media the editor at ?
RIP
So 'twitter' to see that most people would rather complain about the semantics of calling a replicant 'alien' than actually express sadness at the passing of Rutger Hauer. Sad day, on both fronts
His character was a replicant. *pushes glasses firmly up bridge of nose*
Idiots. He was a robot, not a freakin alien.
He wasn't an alien, he was an Android.
Modern journalism in a nutshell. Roy Barry wasn’t an alien. He was a ‘replicant’ a biological robot.
😞
It's a replicant you dolt.
Remember Him also for His role in Paul Verhoeven's Turkish Delight.
He also appeared in TrueBlood, & in LadyHawk. He appeared in many motion pictures over the past several decades.
Neither alien nor villain
