THE HAGUE - Hollywood actor Rutger Hauer, who became a global cult icon for his role as the scary yet thought-provoking humanoid android in the 1982 sci-fi classic "Blade Runner", has died at the age of 75.
Set in a dystopian Los Angeles of 2019 and directed by Ridley Scott, Bladerunner catapulted the tall, blonde Dutch actor with piercing blue eyes to international stardom. On the 30th anniversary of the film's release in 2012, Hauer told reporters in Milan that it "was completely delicious to work on. I can't even fathom how it feels to be alive and an icon basically because of this movie".
At 15 he ran away to sea, travelling the world on a Dutch Merchant Navy freighter picking up English, German, French and Italian on the way. The following year he appeared as Batty, model number N6MAA10816, the leader of the renegade Nexus-6 replicants in "Blade Runner" and never looked back.For half a century Hauer was prolific, working on more than 100 films -- although some critics said he appeared in more than his fair share of bad movies.
