Lovely Roy Scheider


Such an underappreciated gem.

When he showed up in the third act, I sort of had a "double take": "Hey, that's Roy Scheider! Where's HE been?"

He looked older than in his Jaws heyday, of course, and his rather sharp edged, flat face was even more prominent in old age. But he still had that Roy Scheider charisma.

Which was ironic given that he was playing quite the villain...but a very nice, amiable, pleasant villain!

He went from fighting a giant shark and saving a beach town, to operating an insurance company denying a claim to a dying kid. How could you Roy Scheider?
