An engaging essay exploring the greatest shark movies of the 21st century so far, from realistic survival thrillers to blockbuster spectacles and cult classics.

Dreyfuss, the only surviving crew member of the Orca, also talks about vividly remembering hearing the news of Robert Shaw’s death in August 1978, and how deeply it impacted both him and director Steven Spielberg.

Matt Hooper may not have returned to our screens for JAWS 2 (that phone call to Ellen Brody doesn’t count) but Richard Dreyfuss returns to The Daily Jaws in the sequel to the first part of his exclusive interview with the world’s number one JAWS fan site.

He may have got no spit when he was about to dive in the shark cage in JAWS, but 50 years after the release of the Steven Spielberg shark classic, Oscar-winning Matt Hooper actor Richard Dreyfuss has plenty to say.
