RIP: Roy Sceider

Posted on | February 10, 2008 | No Comments

Unfortunately, Roy Sceider passed away at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences hospital after going through several treatments for multiple myeloma. I knew of his work in the French Connection, Marathon Man and All That Jazz. Most of his successful acting career was in the 70′s, but never found the spot light in the 80′s or 90′s. He seemed to fit the classic caring police officer roles, and found himself on few episodes of Law and Order, and The Third Watch.

He however was iconically known as just portrayal of Police Chief for Amity Island in 1975′s Jaws. I protected the town from a menacing shark, and insisted on needing a bigger boat.

You can read more about his acting career at IMDB or Wikipedia.
