From slashfilm:
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 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.
I've always been a fan of Roy's body of work. From Jaws, to Blue Thunder, to 2010, to SeaQuest DSV and more, I've been a lifelong fan. He's one of those remarkable actors that stays with you forever.Thank you Roy.

Just wanted to say, thanks for posting the photo of Roy in Blue Thunder. That was the role that I first saw him in during the helicopter obsessed phase of my youth. It always stuck with me. Even when I would later watch JAWS, I couldn't help but think of the sheriff as "they cop/pilot from Blue Thunder."
Rest in peace.
