Opinion
Rutger Hauer's onscreen villainy over the years has been unforgettably graphic -- from gouging out the eyes of his creator to leaving a severed human finger on an unsuspecting victim's plate of french fries.
The Dutch-born actor is one of Hollywood's most mesmerizing bad guys. But to him it's the media that have too often been the villains.
"I have other parts I've played and they're enjoyable too," he says with a hint of resignation.
"It's just that the PR on my bad guys keeps coming back at me. In a way I get typecast by the press."



Drawing of Rutger Hauer
"I don't know what the appeal is. I can see I've got blue eyes and I
don't look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame but I can't understand the
fuss."
