So, after hearing Rutger's comments on a DVD last night about his choice of roles, I decided to see what the general audience like him as the most - a villain ('Blade Runner', 'The Hitcher') or a hero ('Ladyhawke', 'Blind Fury').
Its a hard choice for me, but he has a strange edge that makes villains he plays seem very uncomfortable to watch, quirky and strange like the Hitcher.
He also seems to contribute and inject more personal emotion into a villain role.

Director's Robert Harmon (Hitcher) and Ridley Scott (Blade Runner) are impressed with his ability in an abnormal or unconventional villain role as he brings a lot of effective ad-libs as well as physical quirks.
Director Richard Donner (Ladyhawke), prefers Hauer's suave, noble, aryan hero portrayals with the emotion and fun he injects.
He also won a Golden Globe for his performance in 'Escape From Sobibor', a TV production about an escape from a concentration camp during WW2.
