I wonder if there'll be many tributes from other actors, especially the women he worked with? I believe the proper term is "difficult" - he seemed to hold himself in high regard.
Of course, I'll always remember him for SeaQuest DSV... |

Of course he had the greatest line in Jaws. Chucking his guts and everything else into the wake of the boat, he comes face to face with Esther Rantzen's big brother. Quaking with all sorts of emotion, he tells Quint, "We need a bigger boat." Classic. _________________ Standing on Ray Moore's shoulders |

Despite 2010 being universally and rightfully panned, he was the best thing about that movie. _________________ Author: “To the Ends of the Earth: A Snapshot of Aviation in North-Eastern Siberia, Summer 1992”
