A sad Jaws farewell - Roy Scheider is gone

[Alex]

I've never actually seen All That Jazz. It's on my Netflix queue but is about 150 on the list so I'll see it in a couple years.

Unfortunately, my experience of him as a living actor is as the bit-part actor in bad movies and TV guest experiences but he did have a great run back in the '70s and early '80s.

Interesting that GD thinks of him as perpetually in his 30s. I don't think he ever looked that young. To me he always comes across as in his '50s. Sometimes has a young looking 50 year old, sometimes (as in a recent Law & Order guest spot) as a prematurely old 50s. Like Jack Palance he is someone I can't imagine at 18, or even 25.

About a year after he was 74.

Sorry too see him go. I loved him in Blue Thunder. I realize it wasn't the best film but it was fun at the time as a kid.

My husband often gets credit for other people's posts. It's so odd.

Erica, I'm with you on SeaQuest. That and Jaws are what instantly come to mind. Sad to hear he's gone.
