Hauer’s agent, Steve Kenis, confirmed the news and said that Hauer’s funeral was held Wednesday.

His most cherished performance came in a film that was a resounding flop on its original release. In 1982, he portrayed the murderous yet soulful Roy Batty, leader of a gang of outlaw replicants, opposite Harrison Ford in Ridley Scott’s sci-fi noir opus “Blade Runner.” The picture became a widely influential cult favorite, and Batty proved to be Hauer’s most indelible role.

He usually played strange characters. He has five works in pre-production. I thought his last name was Howard.

The clip is interesting because he had gained morality.

Life becomes sacred as he senses God.
Yet he has no soul, except the dove that he releases when he dies.
