He's obviously traumatised by Shaw's bullying. He has to know there's always someone bigger and tougher and meaner out there. Everyone with a beating heart feels fear. But you must stand, even if you get a hammering, at least stand. All this sneaky shadow play this alphabet soup, this BLM , this cowardly bending of the knee is from people who won't stand but lie and cheat. Always stand. Always face forward and yes you'll get beat down yes you'll get victimisation but just stand and put your chin up.

Mr. Dreyfuss comes across as a class act and a gentleman

A truly decent and gracious man, not to mention a fine actor. Thanks for sharing 😊

If anything....Shaw should have won the Oscar for best supporting actor for Jaws....much less not even nominated - an absolute travesty!!!

I heard someone, i think it was Carl Gottlieb, that Shaw wanted top billing on the film, because he was the more experience actor, and because the success of his late films (the Taking of the Phelam 1, 2, 3, The Stng, etc). That`s why he didn' t got the nod, because he was advertised as a main character and he wasn`t. But, i have to say that maybe Roy Scheider deserved the nod too as an actor in a leading role. Watch the film carefully, Scheider carries the film over his shoulders the whole time.

Richard Dreyfuss is a national treasure . He is humble and a great actor . So many great movies he's in . He has a chill personality. I think he really made Jaws . Him and Shaw were the perfect yin and yang.

He was so well casted in the original (and best) version of "The Taking of Pelham 1.2,3"!

My Dad used to regularly enjoy breakfast/brunch with him in Edmonton, London. Shaw was a fair bit older than my old man, but he liked the fact that my Dad along with being a colourful story teller, was a decent fencer and enjoyed boxing.

I have read the book on Shaw and also listened to his son Ian talk about his dad. He was, in my opinion, a tremendous talent lost at such a young age. I understand Richard's admiration.

The USS Indianapolis scene in Jaws was a scene like no other in history. There was something strangely alluring and mysterious about Shaw, that isn't seen in any other actor since. And that scene was a perfect example of that. Its like he can put a spell on you, once you are affixed on him, you can't escape until he ends the spell, like Medusa, when you look at her you turn into stone, just like Hooper is in this entire scene, he didn't move or take his eyes off Shaw once. This isn't Dreyfuss acting as Hooper, this was Dreyfuss's actual reaction to Shaws dominance of this scene and how he told the story... You can see on Dreyfuss's face he is witnessing magic. Sometimes everything just fits into place in a freak way and you get the perfection that was this scene. It gives me chills every time. "Y’know, the thing about a shark, he’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes."

Big fan of Richard Dreyfuss.

The story of Dreyfus and Shaw in “Jaws” has become its own tale. I think part of it is addressed in the play “The Shark is Broken”, written and staring Robert’s son Ian Shaw, who is the spinning image of his father (I haven’t seen the full play, but it looks amazing). Personally, from what’s come out over the years, the way Robert talked about Dreyfus more privately and all the potential he saw in him, I get the sense he was almost trying to “mentor” him, in his own way (Shaw was a complicated man; very much a “man’s man”, an admitted alcoholic, and a brilliant actor and writer. Also a family man in a way; I get the sense he knew, or wasn’t sure, how long he had left on this earth, and he wanted to provide for his family before he was gone). I think he was trying to get the best performance he could out of Dreyfus (if so, it worked). Seeing Dreyfus at peace with the whole thing now, especially that amazing segment from an Irish talk show where he talks about meeting Robert Shaw’s granddaughter and gets very emotional, really brings it full circle. Both men are great actors; Shaw as Quint may be my favorite performance in any movie. It’s a shame he passed away so young. I would have loved to see Shaw and Dreyfus collaborating in something, be it on stage or film.

Actually, Robert didn't win an Oscar for Man for All Seasons. He was nominated but didn't win. Richard got that wrong. Robert Shaw was very competive. That's how he operated. Now about the Jaws Indianapolis speech. He was very drunk on the first filming of the speech so he had to come back the next day and do it again. However, a very small clip from the first night was used and made it to the film. You can spot it if you look because Dreyfuss has his shirt tucked a different way.

Seriously? "I'll play Claudius to your Hamlet if you play The Fool to my King Lear." Holy mackerel. That's gotta be the highest possible praise of one's acting chops coming from Robert Shaw. Sure wish those two productions had come to pass.

Mr Shaw didn’t have a lot of patience but he was very generous in his own way.

Touches my heart

Richard, who is a hugely charismatic guy in his own right, is describing the power of an Alpha.

I think Shaw was causing the tension with Dreyfuss to make the tension between Hooper and Quint more believable on screen.

I have realy enjoyed the duo with this two acteurs. Remarquable men's and outstanding performer's.

There's no doubt that Robert Shaw was a tremendous, great talent as an actor. He played the intimidator role second to none, which was almost a polar opposite from his real life persona (from the many interviews I've seen about him and of him). We lost him way too soon as I think he would have had quite a range of movies to play excellently as an elder actor.

Thought it was Paul Scofield who won the Oscar for Man for all Seasons? I believe Robert Shaw was nominated for best supporting actor but didn’t win. Good to see Richard Dreyfuss remembering Robert Shaw so fondly. Both fine actors (along with Paul Schofield).

Richard must have learnt from Shaw because in my opinion there on stage is one of the finest actors I have ever seen.

Wish we could see his face when he was imitating Shaw after tossing his bourbon in the ocean.

I remember reading that Richard and Bill Murray had a bit of a feud on What About Bob too. Not that it's related, I'm sure plenty of actors have had long-running animosities with their co-stars during filming. Same with actors and directors too... I wonder if Richard is looking back at their time together filming Jaws through rose-tinted glasses now though. He was certainly very emotional after meeting Shaw's granddaughter on the Late Late Show (Irish TV). It was like he was meeting the relative of a long-lost and dear friend. It struck me as strange.

Shaw was just trying to put him in his place, and show old dog still owns the spot .

Shaw liked kicking people off there comfort zone. A jokster.

Roy Scheider is the star of this film....hands down.

It’s just sad that people have to get old.

Richard Dreyfus is being very conciliatory towards Robert Shaw. As he should. In Jaws Shaw encouraged a breakout performance by Dreyfus. Although Shaw’s methods were ‘difficult’. He helped Dreyfus to be a great leading man.

Hopefully, one day Dreyfus will warm up to Shaw.

Curt Davbar Dillinger 😎 the white Tbird man

Both men were good friends

Robert Shaw was misunderstood. He was originally from Westhoiughton, near Bolton, U.K. but chose to live his life in rural Western Ireland. He refused to condemn the IRA which people misunderstood as support for the IRA. Robert Shaw said the British should never have remained in Ireland. That opinion pacified the IRA. The IRA pretty much left Shaw & his family alone. After 1916, the IRA continued to grow & even started the Irish Civil War against the legitimate Irish Free Government of the Irish Free State of 26 counties which showed successive U.K. Governments that the IRA didn’t just want the island of Ireland to be ‘Free’ at all. The IRA wanted the whole of Ireland to be under their complete Marxist-Leninist control. I guess the Irish-American lobby in US politics saw that too… eventually.

Richard sounds like a drunk dad talking about his glory days. No shade intended, I mean that it sounds like an intimate gathering where family members have had a few and talk about the old days.

Shaw bullied Richard during the filming of Jaws, everyone on set knew it! Enough said!

Shaw sadly never won an Oscar for A Man For All Seasons.

Roy Scheider even said that Dreyfuss got on Shaws nerves!

Shaw should have won an Oscar for his magnificent performance Renaissance performance Dreyfuss and Scheider no slouches either

A little bit of revisionist history here. Both Speilberg and when he was alive - Roy Schieder - told stories of the hard time Shaw gave him, and Dreyfuss absolutely couldn't stand being around him. Scheider didn't escape Shaw's harranging either.

Robert Shaw seemed like a nut...God bless him...

I am so glad to hear the truth right from the horse's mouth!!!

It kind of sounds like bullying to me.....vexing...vexation....it would have been interesting to ask Robert Shaw about it...I'm sure he would have given an honest answer. All the actors in Jaws were superb....but I really love Roy Scheider in that film....his character is central obviously but his performance was just so beautifully played. I'm glad Steven Spielberg chose not to make the film too close to the book....the film is better than the book in my opinion.

Judging from just her hair, I’m guessing that blonde is very attractive.

the Indianapolis scene is incredible no doubt but the scene where the chief had a wound ,, and shaw [quinn] ,, said first aid over there! damn that was a very numbing scene before the real shit started to happen

All I will say is there are many stories of friction in the sets of Dreyfuss movies going back many decades. You have to wonder if where there is smoke...

Sounds like Dreyfuss has a drinking problem in this video.

How many Bourbons did Richard Dreyfuss have? I think Robert Shaw made Richard Dreyfus very humbled early in his career. Richard Dreyfus could and has handled his own but how many Bourbons did it take him to do it?

Dreyfuss is always talking in interviews like this about what a huge, gigantic, charismatic personality Shaw was. I've now seen four or five interviews with him and several appearances he made on talks shows like Dick Cavett's , and Shaw frankly comes across as a rambling bore. It's quite awkward/embarrassing in fact listening to him drone on. Maybe Dreyfuss has to magnify Shaw, who obviously bullied him alot, to make sense of his unpleasant experience of him. Most bullies of course become cowards quite quickly if confronted or if you don't show them fear. When Peter Cook faced Shaw down on one of the Cavett shows, Shaw indeed suddenly turned all charming and ingratiating. Dreyfuss should have thrown him into the water with that whiskey.
