Rutger Hauer was awesome in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, no idea why he wasn't nominated.

In the book he is not a replicant.
In the movie, he is.... according to Ridley Scott: http://www.brmovie.com/FAQs/BR_FAQ_Deck-a-Rep.htm
Yeah, I watched an entire featurette on the recent final cut edition that was all about this. It's a cool idea but it's not interesting beyond its value as a oOOoo twist. If Deckard's a robot, Blatty's final speech and that acne-scarred dude from Battlestar Galactica's final line are rendered completely meaningless. When Deckard gets into the elevator with Rachel at the end, he's effectively tendering his resignation. He's done with his non-life, and is ready to actually live. The theatrical cut actually ends with them driving away into a beautiful countryside, which was a little over-the-top but apparently it's still needed to drive the message home.

That was pretty damned awesome considering when the movie was made.
