Blonde, blue-eyed, tall, and very handsome Dutch actor "Rutger Hauer" has an international reputation for playing everything from romantic leads to action heroes to sinister villains. The son of actors, Hauer was born in Breukelen, Holland. Because his parents were often touring, Hauer and his three sisters were raised by a nanny. A bit of a rebel during his childhood, he chafed at the rules and rigors of school and was often getting into mischief. His grandfather had been the captain of a schooner, and at age 15, Hauer ran away to work on a freighter for a year. Like his great-grandfather, Hauer is colorblind, which prevented him from furthering his career as a sailor.

Rutger Hauer has one of the most distinguished resumes in genre performing. The Dutch-born actor has created romantic knights and brutal sociopaths, heroic soldiers and lost souls. The roles for which he is best known are so different that it's impossible to type him; he's starred in art-house movies and action flicks, historical epics and low-budget thrillers. "I wish I could play all the parts I didn't get to play," he said while in Los Angeles recently to loop dialogue for his upcoming miniseries Merlin. "But there's more than enough left, I guess."

For this violent "medieval romp" star Rutger Hauer joins fellow Dutchman Paul Verhoeven who directs this lost genre classic. Verhoeven's English language career hit a huge "bump in the road" with 1995's Showgirls. Gina Gershon was sex on a stick, but that was not going to save the movie from being a huge disaster. How ever before that he brought genre fansthree true genre classics Basic Instinct, Total Recall and RoboCop and redeemed himself with the very fun Sci-fi novel adaptation Starship Troopers two years after Showgirls. How ever there is one film that get's left off the list, 2 years before Robocop became one of the greatest Sci-fi films of the 80's Verhoeven made Flesh+Blood. Rutger Hauer plays Martin the leader of a band of medieval mercenaries.
