Roy Scheider--RIP


Just read that the talented actor Roy Scheider passed away earlier today (February 10th).

Scheider, in his best-known film roles (JAWS 1 and 2, THE FRENCH CONNECTION, BLUE THUNDER, 52 PICKUP), was a terrific embodiment of the Everyman character doing his best to cope with out-of-the-ordinary circumstances.

He'll definitely be missed.

Update (2/14/08): Some other Scheider films worthy of note are Bob Fosse's ALL THAT JAZZ (playing the Fosse roman a clef Joe Gideon), William Friedkin's SORCERER (hopefully Friedkin can one day turn his attention to creating a special edition DVD) and Alan Pakula's KLUTE (a noteworthy supporting role as a pimp).
