RIP Roy Scheider
 

I was greatly saddened to hear of the death, yesterday of movie star Roy Scheider, one of the great granite-faced American heroes of such classics as Jaws, The French Connection and 2010. My personal favourite of his movies is Marathon Man, where he's so reassuring as Dustin Hoffman's older brother. It's such a shocking bit when: Spoiler Below

So yeh. Repect to Roy Scheider. Great man.

Yes, he will be missed. I was pretty saddened to hear of his death yesterday, and I hadn't even known that he was sick.

I remember him best from 2010 and SeaQuest, and the Jaws movies as well. Hell of a loss for all of us; he was one of the great ones.

Awww... That's so sad. :'( RIP.

I'm a bit ashamed to say that I'm only vaguely familiar with the man. Jaws was the only movie he was in that I remember seeing. But regardless, his passing has clearly touched many fans. He will be missed.

When I found out that someone from the movie 'Jaws' died, I actually thought that it was Roy's co-star, Richard Dreyfuss. It then turns out that it was someone who I didn't even know was sick at all.

Looks like God's gonna need a bigger heaven.
R.I.P. Chief Brody. :'(

I never even saw Jaws, and don't remember seeing any of the other movies he was in, but I certainly knew the name. So, ditto what Medikor said. I wasn't familiar with him, but he had many fans, and will sorely be missed. :'(

Great actor, great accomplishments, full life. He was in his 70's, right? You can't really expect much more than that. He will live on in cinematic glory forever.
