Roy Schieder Dead at 73-ish


We were always fans of Roy Schieder. Yes, he was in Jaws, as well as French Connection and a bunch of other good films, but we first became a fan based on his performance as Frank Murphy in one of our favorite movies of all time, Blue Thunder.

The LA Times has the best obit on him.

Blue Thunder was one of my favorite movies growing up. I still can see the label on the home taped VHS tape.

An aside to this is that one of the many off-duty holsters not approved by the NYPD are briefs with an area to conceal your firearm. The name, fantastically, is "Thunderwear."

The more we hear about your days on the NYPD, the more amazed we are that crime ever went down in that city.
