Abraham Van Helsing

As the Dutch professor Abraham Van Helsing, I would cast Dutch actor Rutger Hauer ("Blade Runner," "Batman Begins"). Is this idea really so difficult? The American tendency to portray anyone foreign as English ("Troy," etc.) looked particularly foolish in Anthony Hopkins's ridiculous turn as Dracula's nemesis. And why is the Van Helsing character German in "Monster Squad"? Hauer looks the part, was born in the Netherlands, and is a great actor. Why hasn't he been cast in this role before?
