# Rutger Hauer filmography

The filmography of Rutger Hauer lists all his performances as an actor in films, television films and television series, from 1969 to his death, and in posthumous films.
Hauer said in the documentary film Blond, Blue Eyes (2006) that, from the beginning of his acting career, he turned down most of the roles which held little interest for him. He rarely accepted a role for the money. Hauer also said he might have been brilliant in only two or three films. He considered his performance in The Legend of the Holy Drinker (1988) to have been one of these instances of brilliance.
