Richard Dreyfuss is disappointed with his portrayal in the Broadway play `The Shark is Broken`
Actor Richard Dreyfuss has expressed his disappointment over the portrayal of his character in the Broadway play The Shark is Broken. The play, which is based on the making of the iconic film Jaws, depicts Dreyfuss as a difficult person to work with. The actor has stated that he feels hurt by this portrayal, as he believes it to be inaccurate.
The play, written by Ian Shaw, the son of Robert Shaw who starred alongside Dreyfuss in Jaws, focuses on the behind-the-scenes drama during the making of the film. Dreyfuss has criticized the play for its depiction of his relationship with Robert Shaw, stating that it was not as contentious as the play suggests.
Dreyfuss has also expressed his disappointment with director Steven Spielberg, who he believes should have intervened to prevent the play from portraying him in a negative light. Despite his criticisms, Dreyfuss has acknowledged the talent of the play's cast and crew, and has stated that he does not wish to discourage people from seeing the play.
Dreyfuss, who played oceanographer Matt Hooper in the 1975 blockbuster, told Yahoo Entertainment that the play’s depiction of him is “a lie.”
“I was not a jerk. I was not a jerk on that film,” he said.
