Veteran actor Roy Scheider died today-- that's right, Police Chief Brody has died. He'd been suffereing from multiple myeloma (Cancer) and passed away at the age of 75.While I obviously loved "Jaws", Sheider had a rather good filmography otherwise, as well. "The French Connection", "All that Jazz" and later "RKO 281", "Seaquest" and don't forget his turn as a Russian Mob Kingpin in "Third Watch." All good stuff.
Not much more to say, other than it sucks when people die. I guess they'll have to re-edit the "In Memoriam" montage for the Oscars this year.
In honor of the man himself, here is the original trailer for the film for which he will always be known-- "Jaws." What an absolutely fantastic film! Enjoy.
