RIP Roy Scheider

[walterIsTheMan]

I haven't posted on here in awhile but I just thought I would share this news with everyone. Roy Scheider passed away the other day. He was a really great actor, notably in Jaws, 2010, and seaQuest. He will be missed for sure

NNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! *plays her Jaws theme birthday card* I loved him! What a sad, sad loss.

[Bagpuss]

Sad news.I loved him in The French Connection,Jaws and Seaquest.

When this came up in the feed reader I was floored. Such a sad thing to happen.

[Kliggins]

One of my very favorite actors. I just saw him on TV a little while ago. How very sad.

[Skydiver]

that is soooo sad.

he seemed to be such a nice guy

[Pharaoh Atem]

i really only knew him on seaquest ....

[MrBright]

Thank you Roy Scheider for seaQuest, French Connection, Jaws and your guest stint on Third Watch few years back....

You will be missed !

There must be a curse on seaquest, Jonathan Brandis, Roy Scheider and Royce D. Applegate have passed away in the past few years....

so sad....

just got 2010 the other day, HAL's "will i dream?" seems remarkable poignant now

[SaberBlade]

This is sad news. I loved him in SeaQuest and absolutely loved Blue Thunder.

We Need a Bigger Boat

if you think about it, Brodie was the Jack O'Neill of Jaws...jaded and kinda out of his element, but gonna go down swining, while dreyfus played the 'daniel' so to speak. educated, intelligent but kinda out of it socially

I'm not quite a fan of the male/male buddy stuff, but taht movie worked so well, just because they were such opposites

[Missster.Freeman]

Just found about this when I got in from work today. I had no idea he was ill. A truly great actor.

Show me the way to go home. I'm tired and I wanna go to bed... RIP Roy Scheider.

We Need a Bigger Boat

Totally memorable line. My favourite, though, is: Smile you son of a *BOOM*

He's gone to that bigger boat in the sky.
