Just thought I would pass along the sad news about the death today of actor Roy Scheider. Reportedly, he had been ill for some time, and passed away while in the hospital. I remember him from the Jaws movies and from The French Connection, but I liked him best in a movie called 52 Pickup.

Oh no. I am sad to hear it. He is in the film with my favorite car chase, The Seven Ups.And I loved him in All That Jazz and The Men's Club.And I guess most will remember him in Jaws.He will be missed.

Yes, sarah, he made many contributions to the entertainment world, and I am sorry that he is gone.

Is it? I am very sorry to know that.I remember him well for that Jaws.That great white and Roy Scheider becomes synonymous when you think of Jaws.And as you say The French connection is also a great flick with of him with Jene Hackman.It is so sad and scary that people who you know much about passes away one after another.I will watch your recommendation 52 pick up as a tribute to him.


myLot reputation of 93/100. worldwise1 (6189)   ranked 761 out of 26,920 in people  5 years ago

He is a great loss to the entertainment world and the world in general, bala. Luckily, we still have his films to remember him by.

Yes it is the case of the many giants of the movie world.

I heard this sad news early this morning. What a great actor we lost. I didn't know he was sick and certainly didn't know he was in his 70's.


myLot reputation of 93/100. worldwise1 (6189)   ranked 761 out of 26,920 in people  5 years ago

He had been ill for a long time, evidently, carolbee, reportedly with bone cancer. They say that he contracted a staph infection while in the hospital -which was actually what killed him.

I haven't heard this yet but then I haven't really seen any news recently...going to have to check it out! I enjoyed all of Roy Scheiders movies and like you I especially liked 52 Pickup. I think it was one of those "sleepers" that a lot of people didn't really know about or bother seeing. I feel really bad that he has passed away!


RIP Roy Scheider

I saw the announcement on Yahoo! as soon as I signed back in after the Grammy Awards, ctry. I was totally shocked.

Wow! is it me or does there seem to be a lot of famous actors dying this year? First it was Brad Renfro, then Heath Ledger and now Roy Schneider, I know things come int threes but I wish death wasn't involved. Yes I remember him mainly in the Jaws Films, he was a brilliant actor. Lets hope there are no more to come my friend!


myLot reputation of 93/100. worldwise1 (6189)   ranked 761 out of 26,920 in people  5 years ago

I agree with you, wolfie. There seems to be so many people dying all of a sudden. He was a very talented man.

I have to say that I am not sure who he is, I never watched Jaws or the French connection, but being that Jaw was popular I have to think that he was talented....

Its always sad when a talented and gifted actor or actress dies.

Can you tell me anything else he was in ?

Mooch


myLot reputation of 93/100. worldwise1 (6189)   ranked 761 out of 26,920 in people  5 years ago

He was also a Broadway actor, oneandone. He was famous for All That Jazz, and I had forgotten until I heard it mentioned last night, that he was also in the sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I was very saddened when I saw this news on the "bottom line" on MSNBC earlier today. He was always one of my favorites, on of those actors that never quite reached "super star" status but was always in high demand and did a variety of different roles. Of course he's best known for the Jaws movies but his versatility is what gave him staying power. I didn't realize he was in his seventies but that is still quite young these days. He'll be missed.

Lots of people didn't realize he was in his seventies, anniepa. I think we get older but we expect famous people to remain the same -which they can't, of course.

Yes, I heard about his death and felt saddened. I took remember him in the Jaws movies and The French Connection..He was in All that Jazz too where I think he was playing a Bob Fosse type of character. He had some long listing of movies which I discovered here.

Yes, pyewacket, he was indeed a versatile and enduring actor. He left a really decent body of work.

That is so sad! I can't believe he's dead. He was such a great actor. So many deaths lately.


myLot reputation of 93/100. worldwise1 (6189)   ranked 761 out of 26,920 in people  5 years ago

My sentiments exactly, Starr4all. I hope we won't be hearing of more deaths anytime soon.

Another great actor gone. After a long illness though you have to be glad he is no longer suffering. I just watched Jaws the other night. Still love that movie after all these years.
