What upsets me,that none of the mass media in US mentioned his death,that is double sad..

Sam, new york, ny

It's impossible to forget about 2010,such was the plot,the casting and awsome imagery,but it became absolutely impossible to read the book again without associating the image of the main character and Roy...

Rest in peace,Dr. Floyd.May you say now...

I developed a huge crush on Roy when I saw him in JAWS back in the summer of 1975. I was 12 years-old. I followed his career and movies for 32 years. Yes, he did get old, but back when he was younger he was so sexy and handsome (and I loved him in those turtlenecks too). There will never be another Roy Scheider. This has been a sad day. May God bless you Roy.

I was in tears when I heard about Roy Scheider this morning. What a talented actor. He was my favorite. I would watch anything he was in. There was just something about him - made you feel like he was someone you knew, like your cousin or your neighbor down the street. Thank you Roy, for spending your life giving us true enjoyment. Rest in peace dear friend. You have left a big hole in this world.

'Still of The Night, Jaws, Cohen And Tate, All That Jazz, 52 Pick Up, The French Connection, and Marathon Man.'
Great movies starring a great actor.
One of the best actors of his generation.

One of my favorite movies and "lines"!! LJ

I know of Roy Scheider from his role on the TV show "seaQuest DSV". I loved that show. That's 3 actors that have died that were on that show. Jonathan Brandis was first, at age 27 or 28. Then Royce D. Applegate, and now Roy. I am very saddened by this news. My mom just got a new puppy for Christmas and named him Brody. It will be sad to think about it for awhile.

Certainly my favorite Roy Scheider role was in the surreal horror film "Naked Lunch," when Roy unzips and steps out of a full-body woman costume, much to the shocked amazement of moviegoers. Mr. Scheider had a phenomenal range of acting skills and a tremendous sense of humor, which went largely unrecognized in his mainstream movies. God bless you, Roy, and give 'em hell in Heaven. :)

Thank you Roy for teaching me what it means to be JAFO...You will be missed!

The world is a poorer place in his absence. I knew him briefly and not very well, but he was a warm, caring man who was devoted to his family and committed to life.
He kicked ass!

I strongly believe that Roy Scheider was the reason Jaws was as successful as it was. He was the anchor(forgive me) of that story and if you didn't believe him the movie would've been over before it began. His subtlety and artistry will be hugely missed.

Ricardo, Dublin, Ireland

"That's some bad hat Harry!" Rest in peace Roy.

J, Boston, MA

I will never forget the day I met you at Joe Allen's - You thought you knew me and you were so polite to ask "Was I doing anything" - In other words was I in a show!

I love you in those turtleneck sweaters!

We will miss you.

I loved him as Captain Nathan Bridger on the TV series, "SeaQuest DSV". He was also in the movie "2010". A wonderful actor, able to be both serious and funny.

Bonnie, Framingham, MA

He deserves an honorary oscar.

Joe, Toms River, NJ

Sorcerer is a great movie and Roy is excellent, this is an overlooked William Friedken masterpiece. Besides Jaws, I think my favorite Roy Scheieder role was in another little known film called "The Seven-ups". Roy is great in this role.

Greg, New Haven, CT

Two other great films of Scheider's: The Seven Up's (2nd or 3rd best car chase in film history), and Blue Thunder!

He was an awesome actor and it's sad to see him pass! Thanks for some great memories Roy!

I was saddened to hear this legendary actor has passed away. Stay cool Roy. You will be sadly missed. Melanie, Aldershot, England.

Schieder fans must see "52 Pickup." I've been a big fan since I was a kid and saw "Jaws" at the drive-in theater.

John, Yucaipa, CA

Let's not forget his unique performance as CIA instigator Russell in the Russia House. RIP.
