another great actor gone.

Damn.

Folks remember him from "Jaws" and "The French Connection", but he also was in "Marathon Man", "Sorcerer", and "All That Jazz".

His performance in Marathon Man was exceptional. All That Jazz was ....It's Show Time!

Mr. Scheider was a rare actor. Believable, straightforward and honest in his films. I'll miss him.

Sad to hear, was a great actor. He was certainly believable as the new cop and family man in the little resort town in Jaws - I thought it was another one of Speilberg's great looks at american family life and a big part of Jaws impact for me --

Mr. Scheider was a rare actor. Believable, straightforward and honest in his films. I'll miss him.

Glad to see somebody else remembered "The Seven-Ups"...

 

[bordeno]

Damn.

Folks remember him from "Jaws" and "The French Connection", but he also was in "Marathon Man", "Sorcerer", and "All That Jazz".

I was going to mention Sorcerer.

Excellent movie, cult classic.

Another one bites the dust in the wind... RIP, Mr. Scheider.

The actors we remember from our youths were, of course, always a little older than we were, so as we are passing through middle age they are getting truly old, and it is inevitable that we start to hear about more and more of them dying. Sad, how this sort of news seems to come thicker and faster with every passing year...

At least these artists leave a legacy of recorded works that will outlive them, and last as long as the media and our memories do. I may just break out the Jaws Laserdisc next time I watch, and raise a toast to another great actor gone!

Roy Scheider, thanks for the memories. RIP
Jaws was the film I chose to see the first time that I ever took a girl to the movies. She was terrified of the shark soon after the movie got rolling and clung tightly to me throughout the rest of the show. The girl, Tanya, turned out to be my first girlfriend ever.
