I know ...eh?
he was a damn good actor.
I have pretty much all he has done.
right down to the episodes he starred in...in Lexx
Every time he is in something, he does the part justice.
He has no need to be an alpha on the screen, his presence and disposition fill the screen plenty without demanding it.
I've seen some interviews and such of him as well..
and he is just a great, kind, intelligent and thoughtful person.
Liked him a lot.
Rutger, like so many of the old school, are just downright good actors.
I intend on having a binge watch of Rutger movies shortly.
Currently I am binge watching everything by Michael Caine.
(Always enjoy "get Carter" ..gritty film)
Once done, I will sit with Rutger.
My film vault is extensive.
Name the actor and I have a section with his/her films ...most likely.
(every time I visit those films I get drawn afterwards to watch one of the supporting actors swathe of films ...so it is a never ending cycle of good films for me)

And now, to settle in...
and..
as the great Canadian professor of film and media would show, for decades (on our version of PBS), before the saturday night film started...
time to start the projector, which casts magic shadows on the wall...

good old times ...grew up on actual informative, educational, enlightening and entertaining television...
Some innocent retro ...for everyone.
