Roy Scheider, a one-time boxer(in case you didn’t know why his nose looked a bit odd) and star of films like The French Connection, Jaws, Blue Thunder and 2010 to name a few, died at the age of 75.

Scheider died Sunday at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences hospital in Little Rock. There is conflicting information regarding the cause of death, but he had been sick in recent years.

He was alot like Jimmy Stewart in the sense that he was an everyman and no matter what role he played he was instantly likable. He is going to be missed for sure.
