I'll always remember him for seaQuest DSV and 2010. - inactive, on 02/11/2008, -2/+64Roy Scheider and Jonathon Brandis are together again in the great submarine in the sky.
- headingeast, on 02/11/2008, -11/+56I saw this and thought "oh yeah, rob schneider is dead!!"
then joy turned to sorrow
RIP - Capskid8, on 02/11/2008, -0/+44aw man...
"you're gonna need a bigger boat" - huckdunsany, on 02/11/2008, -0/+30Agreed. "2010" was a sadly under-rated movie, and Mr. Scheider was a large part of it's success. I'll really miss him.
- tness, on 02/11/2008, -1/+31What a shock! SeaQuest ruled! RIP
- vivaladisney, on 02/11/2008, -2/+25Really a tragic loss. Roy Schneider was one of those guys that just had such a likable quality about him. He will be sincerely missed.
- grimward, on 02/11/2008, -0/+19Ah yes, Seaquest, one of the few scifi series that I actually thought the captain ruled in.... RIP
- LUCCHINA, on 02/11/2008, -0/+19He was so Great in 'All That Jazz' the Bob Foss movie...
- tboutcher, on 02/11/2008, -0/+18I'm tired and I want to go home,
I'm tired and I want to go to bed,
I had a little drink about an hour ago,
And it went right to my head - mal1964, on 02/11/2008, -1/+19Quint: . Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies. Farewell and adieu to
you ladies of Spain.
Hooper: [Singing] Show me the way to go home. I'm tired and I want to go to
bed. [Quint joins] I had a little drink about an hour ago and it's gone right
to my head. Wherever I may roam, by land or sea or foam. You can always hear
me singin' this song, show me the way to go home, bome bome bome. Show me the
way to go home. Bome bome bome. I'm tired and I want to go to bed. [Brody
joins] I had a little drink about an hour ago and it's gone right to my head.
Wherever I may roam, by land or sea or foam. You can always hear me singin'
this -- Roy Scheider RIP - AshamedAmerican, on 02/11/2008, -1/+17Jaws one was one my favorite films growin up, gonna miss ya man :(
- Matsky, on 02/11/2008, -0/+16Heath Ledger shocked me, but this just genuinely made me sad.
- Duke999R, on 02/11/2008, -3/+18"we're gonna need a bigger boat"
RIP Roy. - scarwars, on 02/11/2008, -0/+14HAL-9000: Dr. Chandra, will I dream?
Dr. Chandra: I don't know. - nospinhere, on 02/11/2008, -0/+12I think you're going to need a bigger boat.
- piratearggghhh, on 02/11/2008, -0/+11I really enjoyed his role in Blue Thunder also. Great actor and sad news but he lived a good full life.
- mal1964, on 02/11/2008, -0/+10"Smile, you son of a bitch!" RIP
- whalt, on 02/11/2008, -0/+10"This was no boating accident!"
- michaelb1, on 02/11/2008, -0/+9Well done. I can't believe I had scroll down this far to read that.
Does anyone remember Blue Thunder?
RIP - daRoach, on 02/11/2008, -0/+9Don't watch anything I love anymore.
- inactive, on 02/11/2008, -1/+10Two people beat me to it. I am epic fail.
- lcarsdeveloper, on 02/11/2008, -1/+10That's easily the best comment in this entire thread. We should raise a glass to them both.
- filthysize, on 02/11/2008, -1/+9Damn. :(
- FizixMan, on 02/11/2008, -0/+8Hear, hear!
- DeanRed, on 02/11/2008, -4/+12Just hope no one at the funeral palor will be saying "We gonna need a bigger coffin"
RIP Roy. - andywebb95, on 02/11/2008, -1/+8You will be missed Roy and this evenings news really makes me sad. I really liked you as an actor and a person.
I watched your films growing up and I was sad to see how (at least it seemed that way) you were under-appreciated (if casting has any say in that).
I loved your work in
- 2010
- Seaquest
- the 4th War
- Jaws 1 and 2
and numerous other films
Thank you for all of the wonderful years of entertainment and please RIP. - SolidSnake24, on 03/28/2008, -0/+7Don't forget The French Connection, he was magnificent in that!
- ddiggs, on 02/11/2008, -3/+975 years is still young these days!
- halleyscomet, on 02/11/2008, -1/+7His reaction shots really helped humanize the protagonist. While he was clearly vulnerable you could tell he was just enough of a badass to make a good cop, but was in over his head on this one.
- riverstyx, on 02/11/2008, -1/+7He was a great guy, we'll miss you Roy!
...don't be surprised to see best buy try to cash in on this like last month with Heath Ledger. - grahamgrafx, on 02/11/2008, -0/+6i didn't follow allot of his work, but my favorite movie is jaws and when i read the book no ones voice came over more defined in my imagination then roy scheider's, not even robert shaws. scheider fit the character from the original book perfectly. Amity's Police Chief Brody is Roy Scheider. Roy Scheider is Amity's Police Chief Brody.
- Torx, on 02/11/2008, -1/+7I'll drink to your leg Roy, if you drink to mine! I'm going to miss you buddy! *tear*
- basho1, on 02/11/2008, -0/+5RIP. "Here's to swimming with bow-legged women"
- vivaladisney, on 02/11/2008, -2/+7Just because a dog is 10 years old doesn't mean it's not sad when it gets hit by a truck.
- halleyscomet, on 02/11/2008, -0/+5I hope once he gets to Heaven they give him a bigger boat.
- thetanman, on 02/11/2008, -0/+5WEIRD.... I was just watching an old episode of seaQuest this morning on netflix for the first time in about a decade, then I pull up Digg and see this. Same thing happened the day Richard Pryor died... my dad and I watched a concert together only to hit my homepage later and see this big memorial. We were freaked out.
- mcmullet, on 02/11/2008, -0/+5A sad day for JAWS fans.
RIP - DangerIsGo, on 02/11/2008, -0/+5RIP Roy. We will miss you :(
Loved SeaQuest DSV - Coffeedemon, on 02/11/2008, -0/+4Farewell and adieu...
- aceakm, on 02/11/2008, -4/+8A thousand men went into the water...only three hundred came out... Sharks took the rest. Anyways, we delivered the bomb...
- aceakm, on 02/11/2008, -1/+5Same here. I was going to be distasteful and say "We're gonna need a bigger coffin." But decided against it.
- Triterion, on 02/11/2008, -0/+4Darwin love Bridger :(
- rebotfc, on 02/11/2008, -0/+4I don't know why that quote got to me, dugg.
- benroy, on 02/11/2008, -0/+4Seriously one of my all-time favorite actors. This is very sad news.
Being a child of the 80's I can't help but directly associate him with 'Blue Thunder', an awesome flick.
He will be missed. - all_about_the_D, on 02/11/2008, -0/+4well this just ruined my day.
- nrtikman, on 02/11/2008, -0/+3He was fantastic in All That Jazz...
Thanks Roy. RIP - 3rdDay, on 02/11/2008, -0/+3He was a great actor. He will be missed.
RIP. - michaelmit, on 02/11/2008, -1/+4I don't get it! How come this doesn't make the front page? Here is a talented actor. Jaws,The French Connection,Klute, Marathon man, are all great movies, but his death doesn't garner the same media attention as poster boy Heath Ledger (RIP). It really is sad that real talent is under appreciated.
