Ever seen that movie, “The Hitcher” with Rutger Hauer?
In California, 27 years is known as “Fast tracking”....
His middle initial was “F.”

Waste of skin.
That movie scared the daylights out of me. I consider this movie and Blade Runner to be the best acting roles Rutger Hauer has done during his career.
