Rest in peace, Roy Scheider

[The Jade]

May he forever face down sharks in the endless, timeless sea.

Bummer.

[Callous Jack]

Man, I didn't realize he was that old.

[Kruelaid]

ROOOOOOOOOOOOY!

I echo that sentiment.

Raises a mug of ale in salute.

I like to think that now he's got that bigger boat and he can go slow ahead.

[Mike McArtor]

Alas! Such a loss. A fine, fine actor.

[Sean, Minister of KtSP]

Aw, seriously? Bummer.

"Slow ahead. I'll give you slow ahead. Why don't you come on down here and chomp on some of this shit."

R.I.P.

A real loss. My wife just told me as I saw this topic. He was a great actor.

[Larry Lichman]

If he only had a bigger boat..

RIP Roy. Godspeed.

[Lilith]

No shit? Really? No more Roy...?

I saw 2010 before I ever saw Jaws (yeah, my movie viewing is skewed) - he still holds a high place in my mind for his role in it.

That's sad; somehow I thought he would live forever. RIP, Roy.

Some nice pics here.

Didn't see this thread before I put up the thread in the movie section. I've seen Jaws more than just about any other film and he will always hold a place in that chamber of my heart that loves movies. I think my favorite exchange in Jaws is when Hooper makes fun of Brody saying,

"It doesn't make much sense for a guy who hates water to live an island"

and Brody (Sheider) replies. . .

anyone?
