[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 162562, member: 23"] I couldn't sleep last night and by this morning found myself in a bit of a [I]Jaws[/I] wormhole, going from soundtrack reviews to film critiques and cast interviews. Roy Scheider is an enthralling patchwork of humility, honesty, simplicity, darkness and intensity. He's very enigmatic indeed, and hard to pin down. He's great in this interview: [MEDIA=youtube]V9SSZ4xHv5E[/MEDIA] The journalist seems very clumsy at times. There's a warmth to her, but she's also very reliant on her research and her notes. So for some of the interview she's not in the moment with him, which makes for an interesting dynamic, because it's in those moments that Roy seems most real. There are a few awkward pauses before she turns abruptly to the next subject, but Scheider stays cool as a cucumber. I particularly like the way he keeps control of things when she tries to delve deep into the repercussions of his childhood illness. His comment regarding the unmade bed at 6:05 is a winner.
