I have seen that in the Ridley Scott movie "Blade Runner" there is also
Edward James Olmos.

But who is he in that film? What character?

He played Gaff - a cop. He walked with the cane.

As another poster said, his character is "Gaff", the
oragami folding cop who was bucking for a promotion after
Holder asked Leon about his mother...

Gaff's a fun little character. I won't say anymore for fear of
spoiling the movie.

I have not seen the ultimate/final directors cut yet,
but wasn't that line cut in the not so-ultimate directors
cut from several years back, along with the whole final
voice-over/sappy hollywood mandated engine?

I like the very ambigiuos ending of that cut, but I
would have preferred the opening voice-over, as it sets
the tone of the movie. However, I understand that Riddley
Scott just absolutely despises voice-overs. While I am
at it, I also like the voive-over when Decker and Gaff
first meet - it sets the Gaff character, and his motivations,
which is important in the scene you refer to.

And, if you have no clue what this means, watch the
movie!

Part of the voice over story, they hated it so much that according to
the behind the scenes thing on one of the DVD's... Harrison Ford did a
bad job on purpose in the hope that they'd abandon the idea. They
didn't, and they used his crappy protest takes.

A more important part of the Voiceover Story: It was never Ridley's idea to
have to VO (just to be clear on who "they" are), it was Warner Bros. who
insisted on the VO and the "Happy Ending" of the original Theatrical Version
since most of the old farts running the studio at the time (doe it ever
change?) that they just "didn't get it"....Ridley fought them, as did
Harrison by doing the bad VO acting (he freely admits to it, and there are
examples of his recording session on the recent Final Cut Collector's
Edition DVDs) but they failed - until he released his Director's Cut 10
years later - and now, 25 years later, the Final Cut (which I personally
like the best).

I highly recommend getting the 5-disc Ultimate Collector's Edition since it
covers FIVE versions of the movie: the original 1982 Theatrical release
(with VO & Happy Ending), an International version (with literally 2 seconds
of "extra" footage deemed "too extreme" for US audiences: It's Priss
grabbing Deckard's nostrils during their fight), the 1992 Director's Cut
(removing the VO & Happy Ending, and adding Deckard's Unicorn Dream
sequence), the 2007 Final Cut (I won't spoil the changes for those who have
yet to see it), and the rare Workprint which fans circulated in the '80s
when they were unsatisfied with the Theatrical version (with lots of extra
bits, fun to see but a little too cluttered for my taste).
