Known as a cyborg, Hauer was much more. A great actor.

Immortalised on celluloid, couldn’t imagine anyone else in that role

Good bye Roy Batty Nexus 6 “ «I've seen things you people wouldn't believe, attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die ! RIP !
