Roy Scheider was an alum of my college and was the commencement speaker when I graduated in 1980 (All That Jazz was released in December, 1979).

He opened his talk with, "It's showtime!" What a cool motherfucker.

My high school buddy Michael Smith was and is the president of the American Roy Scheider Fan Club. We kind of worshiped him for Jaws, All That Jazz, and The French Connection, but also The 7Ups, Marathon Man, and later 2010, Cohen & Tate, and Naked Lunch. He was an Olympic-class swimmer and a nice guy. He signed a pointillist ink drawing I did of him (and Mike Smith's insistence), but unfortunately sat on it shortly after. Glad to hear you're healing (I just walked my daily mile), so drop and give me 20, soldier!

Kudos! Now take better care of yourself then both Joe and Bob no matter how hot she is. Fosse was brilliant and that film an underappreciated masterpiece. Thanks this review.
