A sad Jaws farewell - Roy Scheider is gone
 

I just got home and found out that Roy Scheider has died. Obviously, for a big JAWS fan like me, this is terrible news. In truth, my favorite Scheider performance is in ALL THAT JAZZ, and I can scarcely think about Bob Fosse without actually picturing Roy's "Joe Gideon." Nothing more to add except :(

That sucks. He was such a cool actor. I think I need to watch Sorceror again this week.

:(

Wow, I guess he's always just remained the same age in my mind as he was when I was 14/15 when I last really caught him on Seaquest DSV. I guess time has just passed...

What a sad day, indeed.

RIP

He WAS Bob Fosse in All that Jazz - and possibly my favorite performance of his fine career. :(

Again, another film he was in that I loved.

Wow, I'm a little stunned.

I forgot about that show. I thought it was cool. He will be missed.

How many Small World or Pirates Swankings has there been when someone mutters "We're gonna need a bigger boat."

RIP - :(

OMG, Jaws came up in conversations I had last night and again tonight. Now I feel it was premonitionatory. Oh no! What a fantastic actor.

Ooooh, I think I'm gonna have to watch All That Jazz ... if I can stand the creepiness of a nevertheless great Roy Scheider film that's basically all about his character dying.

He was 75?! When did that happen? I guess he always seemed perpetually 30something to me...
