LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (AP) -- Roy Scheider, the actor best known for his role as a police chief in the blockbuster movie "Jaws," has died. He was 75.

Scheider died Sunday at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences hospital in Little Rock, hospital spokesman David Robinson said. The hospital did not release a cause of death.

However, hospital spokeswoman Leslie Taylor said Scheider had been treated for multiple myeloma at the hospital's Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy for the past two years.

Damn. That sucks. Always liked the guy.

Or wishful thinking.

I don't remember seeing him in anything in years, but I'd have to check IMDB.

He died on Discovery Channel's Shark Day!

The last thing I remember him being in was The Rainmaker 10 years ago. Apparently he still did movies and narrations, and a bunch of Law & Order's over the past 6 years...

He was great. How many other actors could have done Jaws, The French Connection, and All That Jazz? RIP.

Very under rated character actor.

What really pissed me off was the lack of coverage. CNN carried a small story on their web site, but it was 5 days before they did a story.

Yet that dumb cunt Britney Spears was in the news 24/7.

I will give $1 to anyone who digs him up and assrapes the corpse.

Necrophilia. Isn't that another one of Dick's interests?

Someone better let him know I said that. He'll want to archive it.
