American actor Roy Scheider, whom we all remember from the 80's blockbuster movie "Jaws", has kicked the bucket, (to use yet another metaphor), at the age of 75. His career could have taken a different direction as he was originally casted to play John Rambo in “First Blood”. He was also supposed to command a role in the classic movie “Deer Hunter”, but was bound by his commitment to do a “Jaws” sequel. But nonetheless, his famous line in “Jaws” – “We’re gonna need a bigger boat”, has been awarded 35th place on the American Film Institute’s list of best movie quotes. Since “Jaws” has given me many horror-filled nights as a youth, I will honor him in this blog. May he rest in one piece.
