We've all seen those 'burning attack ships',
every one of us has stories like that to tell, stories that will soon enough be forgotten. Rutger's Roy Batty could be any one of us, or all of us.
Interesting actor, he did a version of "Merlin" (1998); not the cheesy tv show, but a terrific big-budget mini-series with a stellar cast.* It was a classy production, track it down if you can and check it out. Another great role was "Soldier of Orange", an apparently unbelievable plot, until you learn its based on a true story and a real-life character.
