Rutger performed a variety of roles in American films and TV shows, but began his acting career in his native Netherlands.
Other notable roles included Cardinal Roark in Sin City, and Earle, the corporate villain who Bruce Wayne discovers is running the Wayne Corp. in Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins.
