Personal Quote:

[on shooting the troubled Sheila Levine Is Dead and Living in New York (1975)] The hardest thing about that one was working with Jeannie Berlin. You don't do a picture with that one unless you've got a personal stake in it. She's very disturbed, and it was hard for the director. See more »

Trivia:

His paternal grandparents, Charles Scheider and Wilhelmina Christine Schraft, were both the children of German immigrants. Roy's mother was of Irish and German descent. See more »

Trademark:

Often played the closest thing to a relatable everyman-type in iconoclastic 1970s movies See more »

Star Sign:
