R.I.P.

Roy Scheider, perhaps best remembered for his role as the police chief in 1975’s Jaws, has passed away.

The actor died Sunday at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Scheider had been treated for multiple myeloma at the hospital’s Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy for the past two years and had battled with blood cancer for the past three years.

He was 75.
