Actor Roy Scheider Dies
Feb 11th, 2008 · Actor Roy Scheider has died. Best known for facing down a man-eating shark in Jaws, Scheider had in recent years struggled with blood cancer; he died from related complications. While Jaws catapulted Scheider to stardom in the summer of 1975, it was The French Connection, released four years earlier, that gave him his big break.
