Yes, Rutger Hauer.

No connection I know of between "Krull" and "Ladyhawke".  "Krull" was
directed by Peter Yates, produced by Ron Silverman, and photographed by
Peter Suschitzky.  "Ladyhawke" was produced by Richard Donner and Lauren Shuler,
directed by Richard Donner, and photographed by Vittorio Storaro.  The writers
weren't the same, either.  I'd say that the similarity comes from people who
know (and in some cases, care) little about fantasy trying to make a few bucks.
(Actually, Donner worked very hard to get "Ladyhawke" made, so I imagine he 
cared very much about it.)
