How does one utter a role? :)

Dude you're right... I typically bum these "rest in peace" entries from the first paragraph of the AP obit. This one is just silly.

You can't utter a role!

Is the author politely saying that Roy "milked" the role?
If he wrote the same thing about Roy's role as Joe Gideon it would mean something much different; wouldn't it?

They meant utter one of the most famous lines in "Jaws".
