And some arguments both ways. That reminds me that I need to reread the original book.

Book makes it clear he wasn't. Writers say no, director says yes. Keeping it vague makes it more interesting of course.

The fact that he is older in the new movie, well....

One of the more interesting theories is that he is a replicant of Gaff:

Another fun tidbit about the original (I saw the making of). Did you ever notice how the sky is getting blue in the last scene? Well, they were shooting throughout the night and were running out of time, the sun was coming up and they were making up the last scene as they went. Rutger Hauer came up with the famous line "All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain" himself, during that night.

Hmmm...maybe Goosling's character is a clone of Deckard who was a clone of Gaff?
