I am so incredibly bummed about this. The man was incredible, a legend.

Life has a very strange way of playing out. Most creative people will explain to you the law of threes. Stories, jokes, art, movies, everything happens in threes. And I’ve noticed the same thing in life. Things happen in threes. First there was Brad Renfro, than (sic) Heath Ledger, and now Roy Scheider is dead at age 75.

The actor best known for playing police chief Brody in Steven Spielberg’s JAWS died on Sunday at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences hospital in Little Rock a hospital. The cause of death has not been disclosed, but the actor was diagnosed with myeloma in 2004.

Show me the way to go home...
I'm tired and I want to go to bed...

Memorable

I don't know what you would call it, maybe just his particular "rough edge" that made him memorable. It is a great loss. But if he died at the Univ. of Arkansas, chances are 90 percent that he did indeed die from multiple myeloma.

I think they'll need a bigger casket.
