After a bit of a slow start to his screen career, Roy Scheider (1932-2008) emerged as one of the most prominent actors of the 1970s. Scheider had a few small film and television roles during the 1960s, but nothing really major until 1971. That year he had prominent supporting roles in Klute, as the pimp of Jane Fonda’s character, and in The French Connection, as Cloudy Russo. He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for the latter film. He went on to star in a number of high-profile 1970s films, such as Marathon Man and Sorcerer, and was nominated for Best Actor as Joe Gideon in All That Jazz. However, his most famous and iconic film role came in 1975, as the police chief of a New England resort town.

Through the 1980s, Scheider continued to star in films like Blue Thunder, 2010, the Elmore Leonard adaptation 52 Pick-Up, and Cohen and Tate. As his film career faded, he landed a starring role on television, as Captain Nathan Bridger on SeaQuest DSV, although he left the series over creative differences during the third and final season. He continued to work in film until shortly before his death from myeloma in 2008; one of his late roles was as Frank Castle, Sr., in The Punisher.
