Lean, angular-faced and authoritatively spoken lead / supporting actor Roy Scheider obviously never heard the old actor's axiom about "never appearing with kids or animals" lest they overshadow your performance. Breaking that rule did him no harm, though, as he achieved pop cult status by finding, fighting and blowing up a 25-foot-long Great White shark (nicknamed "Bruce") in the mega-hit _Jaws (1975)_ (qv) and then electrocuting an even bigger Great White in the vastly inferior _Jaws 2 (1978)_ (qv). Athletic Scheider was born in November 1932 in Orange, New Jersey, and was a keen sportsman from a young age, competing in baseball and boxing (his awkwardly mended broken nose is a result of his foray into Golden Gloves competitions). While at college, his pursuits turned from sports to theater and he studied drama at Rutgers and Franklin and Marshall. After a stint in the military, Scheider appeared with the New York Shakespeare Festival and won an "Obie Award" for his appearance in the play "Stephen D." His film career commenced with the campy Z-grade horror cheesefest _The Curse of the Living Corpse (1964)_ (qv), and he then showed up in _Star! (1968)_ (qv), _Paper Lion (1968)_ (qv), _Stiletto (1969)_ (qv) and _Puzzle of a Downfall Child (1970)_ (qv). In 1971 he really came to the attention of film audiences with his role in the 'Jane Fonda' (qv) thriller _Klute (1971)_ (qv) and then as Det. Buddy Russo (scoring his first Oscar nomination) alongside fiery 'Gene Hackman' (qv) in the crime drama _The French Connection (1971)_ (qv). His performance as a tough street cop in that film led him into another tough cop role as NYC Det. Buddy Manucci in the underappreciated _The Seven-Ups (1973)_ (qv), which features one of the best car chase sequences ever put on film. In the early 1970s the 'Peter Benchley' (qv) novel "Jaws" was a phenomenal best-seller, and young director 'Steven Spielberg' (qv) was chosen by Universal Pictures to direct the film adaptation, _Jaws (1975)_ (qv), in which Scheider played police chief Brody and shared lead billing with 'Robert Shaw (I)' (qv) and 'Richard Dreyfuss' (qv) in the tale of a New England seaside community terrorized by a hungry Great White shark. "Jaws" was a blockbuster, and for many years held the record as the highest-grossing film of all time. Scheider then turned up as the shady CIA agent brother of 'Dustin Hoffman' (qv) in the unnerving _Marathon Man (1976)_ (qv) and in the misfired 'William Friedkin' (qv)-directed remake of _Le salaire de la peur (1953)_ (qv) titled _Sorcerer (1977)_ (qv), before again returning to Amity to battle another giant shark in _Jaws 2 (1978)_ (qv). Seeking a change from tough cops and hungry sharks, he took the role of womanizing, drug-popping choreographer Joe Gideon, the lead character of the semi-autobiographical portrayal of director 'Bob Fosse' (qv) in the sparkling _All That Jazz (1979)_ (qv). It was another big hit for Scheider (and another Oscar nomination), with the film featuring a stunning opening sequence to the tune of the funky 'George Benson (I)' (qv) number "On Broadway", and breathtaking dance routines including the "Airotica" performance by the glamorous 'Sandahl Bergman' (qv). Returning to another law enforcement role, Scheider played a rebellious helicopter pilot in the 'John Badham' (qv) conspiracy / action film _Blue Thunder (1983)_ (qv), a scientist in the sequel to _2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)_ (qv) simply titled _2010 (1984)_ (qv), a cheating husband who turns the tables on his blackmailers in _52 Pick-Up (1986)_ (qv), a cold-blooded hit man in _Cohen and Tate (1988)_ (qv) and a CIA operative in the muddled and slow-moving _The Russia House (1990)_ (qv). The versatile Scheider was then cast as the captain of a futuristic submarine in the relatively popular TV series _"SeaQuest DSV" (1993)_ (qv), which ran for three seasons. Inexplicably, however, Scheider had seemingly, and slowly, dropped out of favor with mainstream film audiences, and while he continued to remain busy, predominantly in supporting roles (generally as US presidents or military officers), most of the vehicles he appeared in were B-grade political thrillers such as _The Peacekeeper (1997)_ (qv), _Executive Target (1997)_ (qv), _Chain of Command (2000)_ (qv) and _Red Serpent (2002)_ (qv).

Early life
Scheider was born in Orange, New Jersey, the son of Anna Scheider (née Crosson) and auto mechanic Roy Bernhard Scheider. Scheider's mother was of Irish Catholic background and his father was German American and Protestant. As a child, Scheider was an athlete, participating in organized baseball and boxing competitions, for which he was classed as a welterweight, weighing in at 140 lbs. He attended Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey, and was inducted into the school's hall of fame in 1985. He traded his boxing gloves for the stage, studying drama at both Rutgers University and Franklin and Marshall College, where he was a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. After three years in the United States Air Force, he appeared with the New York Shakespeare Festival, and won an Obie Award in 1968. Scheider played running roles on two CBS soap operas, ''Love of Life'' and ''The Secret Storm''.
Film career
Scheider's first film role was in the 1963 horror film ''The Curse of the Living Corpse''. (He was billed as "Roy R. Scheider"). In 1971, he appeared in two highly popular movies, ''Klute'' and ''The French Connection''; the latter, in which he played a fictionalized version of New York City detective Sonny Grosso, garnered him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. His first starring role came in 1973 in ''The Seven-Ups'', a quasi-follow-up to ''The French Connection'', in which Scheider's character is once again based on Grosso.Two years later, he portrayed Chief Martin Brody in the Hollywood blockbuster ''Jaws'' which also starred Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss. Scheider's famous movie line, "You're gonna need a bigger boat", which was actually ad-libbed by Scheider, was voted 35th on the American Film Institute's list of best movie quotes.
In 1976, he appeared as secret agent Doc Levy in ''Marathon Man'', with Dustin Hoffman (as his younger brother) and Laurence Olivier. Scheider reunited with ''French Connection'' director William Friedkin in the box-office flop ''Sorcerer'', a remake of the 1953 French film ''Le Salaire de la peur (The Wages of Fear)''.
He was originally cast as Steven (John Savage's role) in ''The Deer Hunter'', the second movie of a three-movie deal with Universal Studios. However, despite being under contract, Scheider dropped out of the production two weeks before the start of filming. Universal offered him the option of reprising his role as Martin Brody for a ''Jaws'' sequel, and would consider his contractual obligations fulfilled if he accepted. Scheider accepted, and ''Jaws 2'' was released in 1978, though it was not a happy production for Scheider, who came into conflict with the film's director Jeannot Szwarc.
In 1979, four years after he appeared in ''Jaws'', he received his second Academy Award nomination, this time as Best Actor in ''All That Jazz'', in which he played a fictionalized version of the film's director and co-writer Bob Fosse.
In 1983, he starred in ''Blue Thunder'', a John Badham film about a fictitious technologically advanced prototype attack helicopter which was to be used as security over the city of Los Angeles during the 1984 Summer Olympic Games. This was followed by a role as Dr. Heywood Floyd in Peter Hyams' ''2010'', a 1984 sequel to Stanley Kubrick's 1968 science fiction classic ''2001: A Space Odyssey'', in which William Sylvester originated the role of Floyd.
One of his later parts was that of Dr. Benway in the long-in-production 1991 film adaptation of William S. Burroughs' novel ''Naked Lunch''. In 1990 he co-starred with Sean Connery in ''The Russia House'' as the smart-talking CIA liaison with the British MI6.
Among his later films, he appeared as the crusty father of hero Frank Castle in ''The Punisher'' (2004), and in 2007, starred in ''The Poet'' and ''If I Didn't Care''. When Scheider died in February 2008, he had two movies upcoming: ''Dark Honeymoon'', which had been completed, and the British thriller ''Iron Cross''. In ''Iron Cross'', Scheider plays the leading role of Joseph, a holocaust survivor with a propensity for justice, which was inspired by director Joshua Newton’s late father Bruno Newton. ''Iron Cross'' is in post-production and slated for release around March 2011.
Other work
In 1993, Scheider signed on to be the lead star in the Steven Spielberg-produced television series ''SeaQuest DSV'' as Captain Nathan Bridger. During the second season, Scheider voiced disdain for the direction in which the series was heading. His comments were highly publicized, and the media criticized him for panning his own show. NBC made additional casting and writing changes in the third season, and Scheider decided to exit the show. His contract, however, required that he make several guest appearances that season. He also repeatedly guest-starred on the NBC television series ''Third Watch'' as fictional character Fyodor Chevchenko.Scheider hosted an episode of ''Saturday Night Live'' in the tenth (1984–1985) season and appeared on the ''Family Guy'' episode "Bill and Peter's Bogus Journey", voicing himself as the host of a toilet-training video (portions of which were censored on FOX and syndicated broadcast). Scheider also did voiceover work on the ''Family Guy'' episode "Three Kings" (which was recorded in September 2007 but aired in May 2009, a year and three months after his death in February 2008) which also featured his ''Jaws'' co-star Richard Dreyfuss. Scheider guest-starred in the ''Law & Order: Criminal Intent'' episode "Endgame" as serial killer Mark Ford Brady.
Scheider narrated and served as associate producer of the 2006 ''Jaws'' documentary ''The Shark is Still Working''.
In 2007, Scheider received one of two annually-presented Lifetime Achievement Awards at the SunDeis Film Festival in Waltham, Massachusetts. (Academy Award winner Patricia Neal was the recipient of the other).
Personal life
Scheider's first marriage was to Cynthia Bebout on November 8, 1962. The couple had one daughter, Maximillia, before divorcing in 1989. On February 11, 1989, he married actress Brenda King, with whom he had a son, Christian, and a daughter, Molly. They remained married until his death.
Death
In 2004, Scheider was found to have multiple myeloma. In June 2005, he underwent a bone marrow transplant to treat the cancer. Scheider died on February 10, 2008 in Little Rock, Arkansas, at the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences Hospital.
