I wrote an obituary for him in my blog, and included an amusing anecdote about him that my brother shared with me. Here's a link:

Roy Scheider

. . .So what if he protested? Are we going to create a NIXONIAN enemies list against anyone who disagrees with that policy? You can be a really good conservative and disagree with spending billions of dollars and lives on Iraq. It was a military option, among many. It ought not to be above or beyond disagreement. And to demonize and “hate” those who disagreed is juvenile at best.

He gave me some big laughs. RIP Roy.

Scotsman, I happened to reside in Galveston in the late '80s, where a movie Night Games was filmed. Dumb movie, but Roy was pretty much the leading act. He lived in the San Luis while filming, and you could see him out on the seawall just about every day for his morning jog. When the filming was over, he bought a full page ad in the Galveston Daily News to thank the people of the town for their friendship, and for giving him some privacy. Pretty cool fellow. Sorry to hear about some of his late in life antics; and as mentioned in a few post, I sure didn't think he was in his mid seventies. RIP Roy, I remember that beer at three in the morning outside of your "on location" trailer. OBX
