 Rutger Hauer passed away last Friday after short illness he was aged 75, probably best known for his role as Roy Batty in Blade Runner but he played many roles over his acting career. One of my personal favourites was Blind Fury where he played a blind Vietnam vet who wielded a sword.

R.I.P. Rutger.
As a child of the 80's, he forever resides in my mind for the Guinness adverts.

As a child of the seventies he will always be Roy Batty in my mind. The "Tears in the rain" monologue is, imho, one of the most powerful moments in modern film.

Max Wright. I loved that guy. Him and Alf were my two favorites. They made a great pair. R.I.P. Willie Tanner.

Those of us of a certain age will remember Terrance Dicks' Dr. Who novels. Alas, the man himself has passed:

And what's really galling is those murdering it are claiming they're trying to save it while, with hands clamped firmly around its neck, they squeeze & squeeze.
“Man, my poor head is battered,” Ed said.

“That explains its unusual shape,” Styanar said, grinning openly now. “Although it does little to illuminate just why your jowls are so flaccid or why you have quite so many chins.”

“I…” Had she just called him fat? “I am just a different species, that’s all.”

“Well nature sure does have a sense of humour then,” Styanar said. “Shall we go inside? It’d not be a good idea for me to be spotted by others.”

Wow, he played Mr. House in Fallout: NV--never knew that! And his Odo was fantastic, that goes without saying. RIP.
