Roy Scheider- RIP

Man, and I had just got done watching one of his old movies, 2065. And I loved All That Jazz as one of my favorites and a classic. A sad day ....
 
Hard to believe he was 75.. He was "not-a-kid, but not old" in "7-Ups" & "Jaws" but-Gulp- They were nearly 35 years ago...

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

Heck yeah, looking at this thread reminded me of how many movies he did that I liked.

When I read this, the first thing I thought of is "did the Angel of death appear to him as Jessica Lange"?
 
R.I.P. Roy... He always played straight up characters.... The first time I saw him was in French Connection... Will never forget the Jaws performance...
 
I've got The Seven Ups on dvd and 2010 and Jaws on LD, along with Sorcerer and Marathon Man, these movies would never be as good without Roy, you know you're getting older when the stars you grew up with leave the stage forever.
 
RIP Roy,

"a great Entertainer, a great Humanitarian, and my friend of twenty five years". Oooh boy, do I hate show business! (All that Jazz).

Bronson, Marvin, McQueen, & Scheider were all made from the same stuff.

I can't see any of the current crop of actors filling their shoes.
 
While he was doing the series, Blue Thunder, it was reported in the Orange County, Ca. Register, That he had died. I never read a retraction for that article.

Damn. This year is proving to be the year that all the great actors/actress's drop like flies.

RIP Roy.
 
I can still envision that big land yacht Ponitac going like a bat outta hell underneath the elevated tracks in The French Connection and the rather abrupt stop that Chevy made in The Seven-ups.

Thanks Mr. Scheider! You'll be missed...
