** [[Dustin Hoffman]] was originally cast as Deckard. Scott intended to subvert the typical image of the burly [[Hardboiled Detective]], and Hoffman would fit that well. This period of the film's pre-production got so far that even some of the early storyboards featured Hoffman's likeness on images of Deckard. |

** [[Tommy Lee Jones]], [[Gene Hackman]], [[Sean Connery]], [[Jack Nicholson]], [[Paul Newman]], [[Clint Eastwood]], [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]], [[Al Pacino]], [[Burt Reynolds]], William Devane, [[Raul Julia]], Scott Glenn, Frederic Forrest, Robert Duvall, Judd Hirsch, Cliff Gorman, Peter Falk, Nick Nolte and [[Christopher Walken]] were all considered for Deckard.

* [[Word of Saint Paul]]: [[Harrison Ford]] has stated that he believed Deckard to not be a replicant, as being one would undercut the theme of his character rediscovering his own humanity, and turns the man vs. machine climactic battle into a robot vs. robot fight. [[Ridley Scott]] on the other hand, claims that Deckard was always meant to be a replicant. After the [[Directors Cut]], Ford changed his stance and now says Deckard is a Replicant. |
