My favourite memory of him is as the main character in Blind Fury...a blind martial artist with somewhat questionable acting skills.
He died quite young - is there any info on what he died of?

RIP Rutger. :(

Every time I revisit this movie it cuses me to reflect on the fragility of life.
R.I.P. Rutger. Thank you for one of the most poignant moments in sci fi film history.
