Roy Scheider passes - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

A solid old school actor who had commercial and critical success in many roles including Blue Thunder, Marathon Man, The French Connection and most noteably Jaws.

RIP Chief Brody.

And he did his bit for SF too, he was okay in 2010 and I never really got into DSV.

Yes a great actor, probably never appreciated as much as he should have

An underrated actor who just got on with his job. Sad to see him go.

Lucien21 · 11th February 2008, 12:54 PM

It's a shame. He was a great actor.

Done some great films.

Jaws 1/2
2010
Blue Thunder

Sad news, indeed. I was a faithful follower of his Seaquest TV series when it was on, way back and of course, who can forget the Jaws movies.

Cheers, DeepThought

An underrated actor i always liked. RIP Roy.

Not fan of Jaws movies but i liked in many other works including Seaquest.

Most people think of Jaws when they think of him. I think of 2010. That was the first movie I saw him in. RIP.

Echo the sentiments here. He brought entertainment to me through his work, and for that I thank him and lament his passing.

Such sad news, and I only heard about this a couple of minutes ago. I remember watching him in Seaquest when I was younger, and he seemed like such a great character. Very underrated, too. He will be missed.

Very sad news this... I thought he was ace and like others, undervalued and underestimated in the industry...

My thoughts go out to his friends and family

He's one of those actors who was watchable in anything he did.

I liked him best in The French Connection.

Hey,yea he was one of those reliable actors, the sort who would maintain an air of dignity even if they worked in a turkey. RIP
