On the 3rd of Feb this year I wrote to Mr Hauer telling him how much I loved his performance as Roy in Blade Runner.
I wrote a nice letter about why I loved his performance and kindly asked for an autograph aswell.
I'd heard it can take quite a few months to get a reply from Rutger because of his busy schedule.

So I checked the post this morning and there was an 8x10 envelope from Italy with a sticker on the top left corner saying "Rutger Hauer Starfish Association"
I was giddy like a kid.
I opened it up and inside was an 8x10 photograph of Rutger that read "To Neil, Rutger Hauer"
There was also a letter that explained that he reads all the fan mail he receives and that he hopes he can continue to please his fans.

How cool of a guy is Mr Hauer?
There are a few stars that are really great and Mr Hauer is definitely one of them.

Good for you Neil; if I were you, I'd treasure that photo forever!
And yes, it seems that Mr. Hauer is very nice with his fans

nice one! yeah Rutger is really great with his fans. He did a talk at the BFI and like most guests he could have just rushed out the back door, but he stuck around after to give everyone an autograph.

Totally agree.
Unfortunately, not all stars are like this.
