There are no ‘B’ movies…..just films you like, or films you don’t…..I like ‘Jaws’.
“I can do anything; I’m the chief of police.” Roy Scheider, Jaws, 1975
By B grade actor i don’t mean that in a derogatory term..i just mean he was never a Hollywood great who starred in epic movies

I don’t know if I’d qualify Jaws as a B grade movie seeing as it was the first true summer blockbuster, and the first to top $100 million at the box office.
He was great in that movie, and at the very least deserves recognition for that.
May he rest in peace.

Oh please stop with all the rhetoric.. just like the Heath Ledger thread the man was a B grade actor who apart from Jaws appeared in B grade movies..it’s sad that he’s gone but go easy on the schmaltz will ya

sad news indeed ,great actor terrific screen presence he had no equal i remember him in “Marathon man” with Dustin Hoffman and of course “jaws” he rejected a part in “The deer Hunter” resulting in De Nero being cast.whenever actors of his calibre pass away ,hollywood never seems able to find another like them.
