- Richard Dreyfuss (Matt Hooper) The triumvirate of "Jaws" is police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider), Quint, and Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss), a cocky marine biologist; they're the only human characters present in the second half of "Jaws," when the film goes out to sea and the shark hunt is underway.

An alcoholic most of his life, Shaw died--before the film was completed--of a heart attack at the age of 51 on August 28, 1978. In poor health due to alcoholism during most of the filming, he in fact completed over 90% of his scenes before the death of director Mark Robson two months earlier, in June 1978, brought production to a halt.
