Roy Scheider was 75. He was a one-time boxer whose broken nose and pugnacious acting style made him a star in "The French Connection" and who later uttered one of cinematic history's most memorable roles in "Jaws."

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!

WTH?
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".
"I think you need a bigger boat."
How does one utter a role? :)
