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 considered his performance in The Legend of the Holy Drinker (1988) to have been one of these instances of brilliance.^[1]
