Brooklyn
. His parents were drama teachers Arend and Teunke. Rutger grew up in Amsterdam
. Since his parents were very occupied with their careers, he and his three sisters (one older, two younger) were raised mostly by nannies. At the age of 15, Hauer ran off to sea and spent a year scrubbing decks aboard a freighter. Returning home, he worked as an electrician and a carpenter for three years while attending acting classes at night school. He went on to join an experimental troupe, with which he remained for five years before Paul Verhoeven cast him in the lead role of the very successful 1969 television
series Floris
, a Dutch Ivanhoe
-like medieval action drama. The role made him famous in his native country.
(1973) (based on the Jan Wolkers
book of the same name). The movie found box-office favour abroad as well as at home, and within two years its star was invited to make his English-language debut in the British film
The Wilby Conspiracy
(1975). Set in South Africa
and starring Michael Caine
and Sidney Poitier
, the film was an action melodrama with a focus on apartheid. Hauer's supporting role, however, was barely noticed in Hollywood
, and he returned to Dutch films for several years. During this period, he made Katie Tippel
(1975) and worked again with Verhoeven on Soldier of Orange
(1977), and Spetters
(1980). These two films paired Hauer with fellow Dutch actor Jeroen Krabbé
.
Hauer made his American debut in the Sylvester Stallone
vehicle Nighthawks
(1981), cast as a psychopathic and cold-blooded terrorist named "Wulfgar" (after a character in the Old English poem Beowulf
). The following year, he appeared in arguably his most famous and acclaimed role as the eccentric, violent, yet sympathetic replicant
Roy Batty in Ridley Scott
's 1982 science fiction
thriller, Blade Runner
.
Hauer went on to play the adventurer courting Gene Hackman
's daughter (Theresa Russell
) in Nicolas Roeg
's poorly received Eureka
(1983); the investigative reporter opposite John Hurt
in Sam Peckinpah
's The Osterman Weekend
(1983); the hardened Landsknecht
mercenary Martin in Flesh & Blood
(1985); and the knight paired with Michelle Pfeiffer
in the Medieval romance Ladyhawke
(1985).
He continued to make an impression on audiences in The Hitcher (1986), in which he was the mysterious Hitchhiker intent on murdering C. Thomas Howell
's lone motorist and anyone else who crossed his path. At the height of Hauer's fame, he was even set to be cast as RoboCop
in the film directed by old friend Verhoeven, although the role ultimately went to American everyman method actor Peter Weller
. That same year, however, Hauer starred as Nick Randall in Wanted: Dead or Alive as the descendant of the character played by Steve McQueen in the television series of the same name.
Italian director Ermanno Olmi
mined the gentler, more mystic and soulful side of Hauer's personality in The Legend of the Holy Drinker
(1989), the story of a lost soul who dies of drink in Paris
while attempting to pay a debt of honour in a church. Phillip Noyce
also attempted to capitalize, with far less success, on Hauer's spiritual qualities in the martial arts
action adventure Blind Fury
(1989). Hauer returned to science fiction
opposite Joan Chen
with Salute of the Jugger
(1990), in which he played a former champion in a post-apocalyptic world. He and Chen would work together again in two more science fiction films, Wedlock and Precious Find.
By the 1990s, Hauer was as well known for his humorous appearances in Guinness
commercials as for his screen roles, which had increasingly involved low-budget films, including Split Second
, which was set in a flooded London
after global warming
; Omega Doom
, another post-apocalyptic story in which he plays a soldier-robot; and New World Disorder, opposite Tara FitzGerald
. He also appeared in the Kylie Minogue
music video On a Night Like This. In the late 1980s and 1990s, as well as in 2000, Hauer acted in several British
and American television productions, including Inside the Third Reich
(as Albert Speer
); Escape from Sobibor
(for which he received a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor); Fatherland
; Hostile Waters
; Merlin
; The 10th Kingdom
; Smallville
; Alias
; and 'Salem's Lot.
In 1999, Hauer was awarded the Dutch “Best Actor of the Century Rembrandt Award”.
Hauer played an assassin
in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
(2003), a villainous cardinal with influential power in Sin City
(2005) and a devious corporate executive running Wayne Enterprises
in Batman Begins
(2005). He also acted as the host in the British reality television
documentary Shock Treatment
(2005). He recently starred in Goal! 2: Living the Dream...
as Real Madrid
coach Rudi Van Der Merwe.
In 2009, his role in Dazzle (Oogverblindend), by avant-garde filmmaker Cyrus Frisch, received positive review
s. The film was praised in Dutch press as "the most relevant Dutch film of the year" ('Parool' newspaper). The same year Hauer starred in the title role of Barbarossa, an Italian film directed by Renzo Martinelli. It co-starred Israeli actor Raz Degan
. In April 2010, he was cast in the live action adaptation of the short and fake Grindhouse trailer Hobo With a Shotgun, which was released in 2011.
On March 4, 2011, it was announced that Hauer would play vampire hunter, Van Helsing
in legendary horror director Dario Argento
's Dracula 3D. Filming is scheduled to begin sometime in 2011.
. He fought for the release of Greenpeace
's co-founder, Paul Watson
, who was convicted in 1994 for sinking a Norwegian whaling vessel. Hauer has also established an AIDS
awareness organization called the Rutger Hauer Starfish Association. He married his second wife, Ineke, in 1985 (they had been together since 1968); and he has one child, actress Aysha Hauer, who was born in 1966 and who made him a grandfather in 1988. His grandson Leandro Maeder is a fashion model.
In April 2007, he published his autobiography All Those Moments: Stories of Heroes, Villains, Replicants, and Blade Runners (co-written with Patrick Quinlan), where he discusses many of his movie roles. Proceeds of the book go to Hauer's Starfish Association.
