Roy Scheider

Sadly Roy Scheider passed away on Sunday, aged 75. I was a massive fan of his due to the movie Jaws, that ranks as 1 of my all time fav movies.

The tall, lean, ascetic looking Roy Scheider, who has died aged 75 of multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer, had to work long and hard before making it as a movie star in his own right, shifting out of the shadow of Gene Hackman (The French Connection, 1971), Dustin Hoffman (Marathon Man, 1976) and Bruce, the white shark (Jaws, 1975), having played second fiddle to all of them.

"Smile, you son-of-a-bitch!"

Indeed, you will be missed Roy.

Jaws was such a shitty movie. He's most well known for "All That Jazz." Great Movie.

Jaws was a break through, a classic and it was the best role he ever did. Thats what he was well known for.

I agree with Link, "All That Jazz" was what he was most well known for. Jaws was alright, I wouldn't say a breakthrough.
