ANTHRAX - Charlie Benante Remembers "Chief Brody"
February 11, 2008, 16 years ago
ANTHRAX drummer Charlie Benante has posted the following:
"ROY SCHEIDER "CHIEF BRODY" DIED TODAY ((February 10th)....DAMN DAMN DAMN!!! Sorry, I just had to get that out!.
The way Roy Scheider acted out his role as Cheif Martin Brody was and still is the finest bit of acting we will ever see. Who could've brought him to life but Roy? I've been a fan since I was a kid, I felt like "Brody" was a relative that I had, but never saw in person. That's how believable he was.
Who could've delivered lines like - "let Polly do the printing", "that's some bad hat Harry", "we're gonna need a bigger boat" - NOBODY! It was Roy that made them so memorable.
With every role he took, he was that character. They don't make actors like that anymore.
God Bless You.
You will always be remembered as one of the GREAT one's.
"Chief" Charlie B.
I gotta go watch JAWS now."
