Roy Scheider died
« on: February 11, 2008, 10:49:19 AM »
Well, dang.  Roy Scheider died. 

Didn't care for his political stance, but he was a heck of a good actor.  Wonder if he ever found a bigger boat?

From CNN...

He was great in Jaws, but he did have some other pretty good movies.
I liked him in Sorcerer, The Seven Ups and the French Connection.

Good actor, RIP.

Look for the Seven Ups chase scene on Youtube. One of the best ever.

He was great in "The French Connection", "Marathon Man" and other movies.

It seems like, after "Jaws," he pretty much faded from view. I wonder why.

Good actor. He'll be missed.

Seven Ups. I have that on DVD. Pretty good for a '70s movie.
Blue Thunder. I have that on DVD as well. I loved the movie as a kid.

That was one of the best movies that nobody ever saw.
