A couple of notes on Roy Scheider, who died on Monday ... he was actually the first choice to play John Rambo in First Blood, and was also the first choice to play DeNiro's role in The Deer Hunter. Oh, and that bent nose? Got that boxing. [A Large Regular]

The dude was awesome in Naked Lunch.
Should have been you, Rob Schneider.
Unfortunatlely he was cast for the role of Nathan Bridger in Seaquest DSV... and he accepted.
Should have been you, talking Seaquest Dolphin.
@Camp Tiger Claw: Shoulda been you, Jonathan Brandis.
Oh, wait...
Should have been you, talking terrifying robotic Seaquest Dolphin.
Fixed, because did everyone else besides me know that already?
Smile, you son of a bitch.
Should have been you, Lucas.
Oh, Chief Brody. Such a crush.
this is obviously the work of a rogue United Earth Ocean's agent
@Weed Against Speed: That's one fucked up movie.
He was a proud graduate of Columbia High School in Maplewood, NJ along with Andrew Shue, Elizabeth Shue, Lauryn Hill, Zach Braff (and me).
@Rob Iracane: Jonathan thought so, too.
Shit, God's gonna need a bigger boat.
John Rambo? Isn't that a porn star?
@stealofthedraft:
Should have been you, Schneider from One Day at a Time.
Should have been you, Quint.
My friend Chris made an excellent point. If you run it together properly, Billy Young in Tiger Town was teammates with young pitcher Billy Chapel.
As for the death of Capt. Bridger, I blame the Chaodai.
He should really have been Rambo.
@Weed Against Speed: I can think of at least two things wrong with that title.
@econdave: didn't he die 3 years after Jaws was released?
How many agents has he fired?
@Lady Andrea:
It was a joke (perhaps poorly executed), given that he's eaten by the shark at the end of the movie.
Is it safe?
And, his biggest achievement, he was name-dropped on an episode of Psych.
@econdave: ahhhh, okay.
@Bob Sheppards Flock: Ah. So, was that film Gracie true-to-life?
