Screenwriter

The Resume

    (March 18, 1938- )
    Best known for his screenplay for 'Jaws (1975)'
    Wrote or co-wrote scripts for 'The Odd Couple (1970-1975),' 'The Bob Newhart Show (1972-1978),' 'Jaws 2 (1978),' 'The Jerk (1979),' 'Caveman (1981)' and 'Jaws 3-D (1983)'
    Acted in Robert Altman's 'M*A*S*H (1970),' 'Jaws (1975),' 'The Jerk (1979)' and 'Clueless (1995)'

Why he might be annoying:

    He is grossly overweight.
    He is jowly and has a double chin like a pelican.
    His best known film as director is 'Caveman,' a campy spoof with Ringo Starr.
    Although he brags about having nothing to do with 'Jaws: The Revenge,' he did write two other crappy sequels.
    In 'Jaws,' he did not write either the famous line 'We're gonna need a bigger boat' or Quint's famous speech about the U.S.S. Indianapolis.
    He and Steven Spielberg had novelist Peter Benchley thrown off the set when Benchley objected to the ending they wanted.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is modest.
    Although he acted in 'Jaws,' he wrote himself out of many scenes so other characters could be developed.
    His screenplay for the movie is considered an improvement on Peter Benchley's novel.
    'The Jaws Log,' his journal about the production of 'Jaws,' was an instant best seller.
    He co-wrote David Crosby's autobiography.
    'Caveman' has a healthy cult following.
    About his weight, he said he could afford to lose at least 30 pounds.
