Meet the Cast
Deckard (Harrison Ford)
Dude Looks like a ReplicantRick Deckard is the movie's protagonist, but he's kind of a puzzling guy—more so than many of the other characters. Yeah, it seems like he's the hero, but his job as a...
Roy (Rutger Hauer)
Zest for Life Roy Batty might be the movie's most compelling character. He's a Nexus 6 replicant—in other words, a manufactured human—who has escaped from slavery on distant colonies in outer s...
Rachael (Sean Young)
Identity Crisis Rachael is Deckard's love interest. Part of the problem of her identity is that she doesn't really have one—at least, not one unique to herself. She's a replicant, and her memorie...
Tyrell (Joe Turkel)
Dr. MoneybagsIf the movie has a true villain, Dr. Eldon Tyrell is probably it. He's the mastermind behind the Tyrell Corporation, which manufactures the replicants and other artificial life forms,...
Pris (Daryl Hannah)
Pris is a replicant who is notable for, among other things, crossing the room by doing somersaults as she tries to fight Deckard to the death in J. F. Sebastian's apartment. But Pris is more than j...
Gaff (Edward James Olmos)
Gaff doesn't really say or do that much in the movie—but the things he does say and do are pretty important. Like Deckard, he's a blade runner, but with a more flamboyant sense of style. In fact,...
Sebastian (William Sanderson)
J. F. Sebastian seems to lead a strange and lonely existence. He's a genetic designer for the Tyrell Corporation—responsible for the creation of the rebellious replicants—and he lives in an apa...
Bryant (M. Emmet Walsh)
Bryant is the obnoxious policeman who acts as Deckard's boss. He's evidently bigoted against the replicants, referring to them as "skin jobs," and he doesn't have any problem pulling rank on Deckar...
Leon (Brion James)
Leon Kowalski shows up in the very first scene of the movie. He's a replicant undergoing the Voight-Kampff empathy test, which is designed to distinguish between humans and replicants. But rather t...
Zhora (Joanna Cassidy)
Zhora is a replicant working as an exotic dancer at a club owned by a dude named Taffey Lewis. She performs using an artificial snake, and she has a snake tattoo on her neck. In fact, Deckard track...
Hannibal Chew (James Hong)
Hannibal Chew shows up in just one scene. While fiddling around in his freezing cold lab, Chew is interrupted by Roy and Leon, who tear off his protective coat. Freezing and at risk of death, he te...
Dave Holden (Morgan Paull)
Dave Holden only appears in the very first scene of the movie. He's a blade runner administering the Voight-Kampff test to Leon—but when Leon seems to be failing the test—thereby revealing that...
Taffey Lewis (Hy Pyke)
Taffey is the dude who owns the nightclub where Zhora works as a dancer. He appears for a brief moment in which he chats with Deckard and refuses to give him any useful information.
Interesting fa...
Abdul Ben-Hassan (Ben Astar)
Abdul doesn't have any spoken lines in the movie. He's the genetic designer who created the snake Zhora uses in her dance, and we get to see Deckard threatening him behind a window before Abdul cav...
Bear and Kaiser (Kevin Thompson and John Edward Allen)
Bear and Kaiser are two toy-like beings created by J. F. Sebastian to be his friends. Bear is basically a walking, talking teddy bear (dressed like an 18th-century Revolutionary War soldier), where...
