Actor Rutger Hauer, who starred in 1982’s Blade Runner, has died at the age of 75. The star died in the Netherlands on Friday after a short illness, his agent confirmed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hauer played the murderous replicant Roy Batty in Blade Runner, which was directed by Ridley Scott and also starred Harrison Ford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hauer’s character gives a famous speech during a face-off with Ford at the end of Blade Runner, dialogue which he helped write himself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe,” he is seen telling Ford. “Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannh\u00e4user Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hauer is quoted as telling an interviewer his character – who had only a four-year lifespan – wanted to “make his mark on existence”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The replicant in the final scene, by dying,” he said, “shows Deckard [Ford’s character] what a real man is made of.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
