The oldest credited cast member of Blade Runner (1982) at the time of filming was Joe Turkel.
Age and Birthdate:
Role:
While not asked for in the original query, mentioning the second-oldest cast member would provide useful context and demonstrate thoroughness in research.
The summary states Turkel was 53 at the start of filming in March 1981, which is accurate. However, since filming continued for four months (until July 1981), Turkel would have celebrated his 54th birthday during production. This is a minor detail that adds precision.
The query asks about age at time of filming, not release, so this is not a significant omission.
The oldest credited cast member of Blade Runner (1982) at the time of filming was Joe Turkel. Born on July 15, 1927, Turkel was 53 years old when principal photography began on March 9, 1981 (he would turn 54 in July 1981 during the later stages of filming). He played Dr. Eldon Tyrell, the founder and CEO of the Tyrell Corporation and creator of the replicants, including the advanced Nexus-6 models. The second-oldest cast member was James Hong (born February 22, 1929), who was 51-52 years old during filming and played Hannibal Chew, the eye designer.
