That's a bit of a shock. I always really enjoyed his work in the movies and on "Seaquest" too. RIP Roy, you will be missed.

I really enjoyed Seaquest when it was on. This is sad news.

Roy was a great actor. I remember the first time I saw him on Seaquest and I thought.. no way! After the first few minutes I loved him! He will be very missed. How sad.

RIP Roy.

I loved the actor more for what he did in Seaquest DSV than Jaws. Jaws was....meh. Oh well. Just me

Goodbye man. :'( :'(

I saw Jaws as a kid in the theater and it scared the living daylights out of me.. After seeing that movie I was fearful of pools and lakes and I still have issues with the ocean because of it.

I can see how watching Jaws and living in SoCal could affect you as a kid. I saw It too many times and still hate clowns to this day.

Jaws freaked me out as a kid, and at times I was even frightend to take a shower, as I would have visions of Sharks coming out of the tap. Even today, sometimes when I travel, and use foreign showers or baths, I get images of Sharks in my head. I picked up Jaws a few years back on a remastered DVD, and it looked fantastic, and I find it an enjoyable movie to watch. I think it will be a movie that will transfer well to HD format someday.

We're gonna need a bigger coffin.

I say that will all respect to Roy and his wonderful career, have to try and inject a bit of levity into situations like this. I LOVED Jaws but like Kenny I grew up near the ocean and this movie hurt the ocean going experience for a while. The French Connection is one of best cop movies EVER made. Lots of others...Blue Thunder, Marathon Man, The Russia House etc. I loved Seaquest DSV and I will mourn the fact that we lost an actor of his caliber.

Whoa -- this has been one of the worst two weeks I can remember. He was one of my favorite actors - loved him in 2010.

Only have the seen about 15 minutes of Jaws.
