That's too bad, he was one of my favorite actors.:cry: Who will kill the shark for us now?

Ol' Roy is up there with Robert Shaw right now. Chumming probably. Shaw's yelling: "Hooper! Where the hell are ya?" :lol:

Hard to believe Shaw's been gone for about 30 years now. Another fine actor.

Damn, he was a bloody good actor, not only in Jaws but in Seaquest as well.

RIP Roy

2010 is another movie of his that I rather enjoyed watching.

Isn't his last name is Scheider, and not Schneider?

Yeah, that was not a bad movie. I liked it as a kid. It spurned off Airwolf. I liked Roy and especially in Jaws. "We're gonna need a bigger boat" is one of my all time favorite lines from the movies. RIP Roy. I grew up watching you and enjoying every minute of it. :up:

That sucks. I read about his demise last night. He will always be Capt. Nathan Bridger to me. That was one of my favorite shows.

I loved that line he delivered in JAWS. "Your going to need a bigger boat."

He's not really dead; it's just great acting.

Oh, and Nik, old buddy? It's Scheider. No 'n'.

Jaws, French Connection, Blue Thunder, SeaQuest are all classics. R.I.P. to a great man!

Don't forget Misery!:huh:

He died of what my father in law has, and is under treatment for. The percentages for survival aren't that high, but we hope for the best.:)

I liked to watch him. What is the English title of this crime movie where he played with Meryl Streep, I think she was working in a museum, and he was a psychologist, and the murders took place in Central Park?

Not all movies I saw him in where really great movies, but no movie i think, ever was a real dissapointment. Jaws 1+2, of course, and Odyssey 2010 - no good movie, but again, it was fun to watch him and focus on him.

Hmmm. You may be thinking of James Caan.

In the Still of the Night. 1982 movie I think.

Roy will be missed:cry: . I was hoping to meet Roy, but unfortunately it will now be a long time from now. If anyone hears any news about funeral arrangements please post them. God bless you Roy Scheider.
