Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on January 23, 1944)

Happy Birthday to Rutger Hauer, the man who made replicants poetic and medieval mercenaries oddly charming! Your iconic "tears in rain" monologue as Roy Batty still gives us chills—though we're pretty sure no one else could make existential android angst look quite so cool. And let's not forget Martin from Flesh + Blood; only you could turn a gritty warrior into someone we secretly root for.

Here's wishing your birthday celebrations are filled with moments more memorable than chasing Harrison Ford through futuristic streets or storming castles in armor. May your day be timelessly epic—just like all those cinematic memories you've given us!
