20 Actors You Totally Forgot Were In Comic Book Movies

19. Roy Scheider

Roy Scheider Punisher
Lionsgate

The Movie: The Punisher (2004)

Who He Played: Frank Castle's father. Early in the film, Castle, his wife and son attend a family reunion at his father's home in Puerto Rico, where everyone but Castle himself is successfully slaughtered by Howard Saint's men.

Why You Forgot: Aside from everyone knowing the late actor as Chief Martin Brody in Jaws, Scheider had an unbelievably diverse career spanning nearly five decades until his passing in 2008. His small role in the 2004 film that didn't explode at the box office was just another credit buried under a history of roles that frequently catered better to his talents.
