R.I.P - Roy Scheider (1932 - 2008)

We lost another great one today, folks. Actor Roy Scheider died, leaving behind a parade of great movies that range from the big hit Jaws to the cult hit Naked Lunch.

The New York Times reports that Mr. Scheider died of complications from a staph infection today in Little Rock, Arkansas. He was 75.

What else can we say other than to appreciate the memorable body of work he'd left behind? As a tribute, I'll post this fitting (and brilliant) final number from his 1979 musical All That Jazz.

Bye bye, Roy.
