Roy Richard Scheider (born November 10, 1932) is an Academy Award nominated American actor.

Born in Orange, New Jersey, Scheider was an athlete as a child, participating in organized baseball and boxing competitions. He attended Columbia High School in Maplewood, NJ and was inducted into the hall of fame in 1985. He traded his boxing gloves for the stage, studying drama at both Rutgers University and Franklin and Marshall College, where he was a member of Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity. After three years in the United States Air Force, he appeared with the New York Shakespeare Festival, and won an Obie Award in 1968.

Scheider's first film role was in a forgettable horror film in 1963 called Curse of the Living Corpse (he was billed as "Roy R. Sheider"). In 1971 he appeared in two highly popular movies, Klute and The French Connection, the latter garnering him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
