Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 I met Roy Scheider one time. Some friends and I had just torn up a dune on his property in Southhampton. He was a true gentleman given the circumstance. His dedication to the natrual ecology of the hamptons is legendary. He was a good actor too. CHEERS
HollyGolightly Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 That's sad. I loved his performance in "All That Jazz".
Guest Guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 That's sad. I loved his performance in "All That Jazz". Funny? No one mentioned his main role in Blue Thunder a great movie! It wasn't even mentioned in all the Press releases! May you Rest in Peace Roy and extended sympathy to his family.
