Farewell Roy Scheider, we'll need a bigger boat.

The actor that helped Jaws become so big, Roy Scheider has died aged aged 75. Also did the French Connection, and did SeaQuest DSV among others.

RIP Mr. Schieder

that should've been the topic title, heh.

Dice · Mon, 11th Feb '08, 5:49pm

That is sad to hear. He was in a lot of different stuff. I liked that actor. Not that the title of your topic wasn't good Takara, but I don't suppose there is any way you could change it? I would be nice to see his name in a requiem notice.

Better.

At the Snook household we may have to schedule a Jaws marathon this weekend in tribute.

RIP

More appropriate title...

"It's showtime...."

He was phenomenal in All That Jazz.

Takara · Mon, 11th Feb '08, 7:25pm

Perhaps T2, whilst i've not seen it. I think it's best to use a line from a well known, and popular, movie.

T2Bruno · Mon, 11th Feb '08, 9:12pm

All That Jazz won four Oscars and was nominated for another five. It was the only Best Actor nomination of his career. The movie grossed almost $40 million dollars in 1979 and made another $20 million in rentals -- granted, that is only 10% of Jaws overall sales, but still significant.

T2 beat me to it. All That Jazz was a fantastic movie, and his performance in it was nothing short of stunning. He was a very prolific and very good actor. He will be missed.
