Talk:Rutger Hauer

message: The pronunciation help (IPA) is given as "ˈrɵtxər" but I can't see how "ɵ" should be pronounced in Help:IPA/Dutch. Can a Dutch speaker help?

replies: text: You can hear ɵ's pronunciation here. The reason that you couldn't find it is that this sound is usually written as ʏ in Dutch IPA. As it says on Help:IPA/Dutch, the letter U in Rutger sounds roughly like the way Brits pronounce ur in the word nurse. Pronounce U short though. You can also listen to this.

text: Thank you - do you think we should amend the article  - either to have ˈrʏtxər instead of ˈrɵtxər, or add ɵ to the Dutch IPA page ?  Peterhull90 (talk) 09:08, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

message: Some websites say that Hauer can speak Frisian fluently or even list him as ethnically Frisian (list of famous Frisians, etc.) is this a case? If so it is certainly notable. 4.242.192.210 (talk) 16:34, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

message: "Hauer was born in Breukelen, The Netherlands, the town lending its name to New York City's Borough Brooklyn." 
Sorry, this is just too silly and too US-centric to pass without comment. The phenomenon is way too common for it to be noted every time a town is merely mentioned in an article about something else; and this factoid has no relevance to the Hauer bio as outlined here. By all means the namesake thing should be mentioned in the substantive articles on Breukelen and the various Brooklyns, definitely, but it is just gratuitous here. Every little burgh in Europe has given its name to some place in the Americas, Africa, Oceania, etc - there would be no end to it if we followed this practice comprehensively. I love Brooklyn NY as much as the next chap but there is no basis for giving it a cameo here (and not, say, Brooklyn, Pretoria). Thoughts? I will delete the offending fragment if there are no objections.  Deoxyribonucleic acid trip (talk) 01:37, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur. Whoever wrote this seemed to be desperate to want to draw a comparison to a US city, for a reason that eludes me. The comparison to New York City should be completely removed - if anyone wants to read up more about Breukelen, they could click on the link and read it. 2A02:8388:1600:6900:BE5F:F4FF:FECD:7CB2 (talk) 01:45, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

message: I somehow failed with the ref-link, but the source I used was from the dutch wikipedia part, which linked to this article here:
http://www.filmgek.nl/default.asp?section=acteur&r=acteur&fid=11419
I will copy/paste the relevant part:
"Ayesha Hauer
Dochter van Rutger Hauer, geboren in 1966 in Bazel, Zwitserland. Ze kreeg op 14 december 1987 van Olimpio Monticelli een zoon, Leandro Maeder, die heden fotomodel is. Kort daarop gingen zij en Olimpio uiteen. In 1989 trouwde ze met acteur Thomas Jane, waarvan ze in 1997 is gescheiden."
I do not speak dutch, but I speak german, and this part here "Ze kreeg op 14 december 1987 van Olimpio Monticelli een zoon", sounds understandable to me; "een zoon" could be translated as "einen Sohn" into german, which means "one son" in english. 2A02:8388:1600:6900:BE5F:F4FF:FECD:7CB2 (talk) 01:44, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

message: In this interview, Hauer explains how he came up with the 'Tears in Rain' monologue. It was NOT improvised. The use of the word 'improvised' in the article linked at the BBC is wrong. He had thought it through, and edited it in the script; they very clearly state that "tears in rain" was added to the script. The article needs to be changed.--Dacramac (talk) 13:36, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

message: In the "Career" section fourth paragraph (begining with "By the 1990s") is a link to the Buffy TV series, in a roman font, with quotation marks.  It should be changed to a link to the Buffy film (as in the lede) and stylized with an italic font and no quotation marks. 2607:F470:6:2001:956D:7D4F:95E:B27D (talk) 20:29, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

message: Odd that the article doesn't mention RH's role in the British hospital sitcom Porters. This was possibly his last professional work in a long and varied career. The somewhat bizarre casting actually worked well - he had a talent for dry comedy, and certainly didn't embarrass himself. Ef80 (talk) 15:04, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
