    Rutger Hauer, ‘Blade Runner’ Co-Star, Dies at 75

    “I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe.

    Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.

    I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.

    All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.”

    Because ‘Hobo with a Shotgun’ wouldn’t have been as flattering

    Check out the Hitcher (1986) too, a great companion to Spielberg's first, Duel.

    I wouldn't say so. It's young enough these days for someone that isn't knocking back whiskey five nights a week. Plenty of people are very youthful at 75.

    Oh Jesus. Poor guy. That is sad to hear. I liked him from his roles in Batman Begins & Blade Runner. RIP.

    I didn't say he was young. I said it was a young age to die. You need to work on your reading comprehension and stop wasting my time.

    Still not a young age to die to be honest. The stats don't support your statement either.
