If there are any celebrity cameos to be found in Jaws, they’re almost done in secrecy.

Although he was uncredited for his work, the voice you hear over the radio during one of the beach scenes is sports announcer Charlie Jones. In the film, he is a baseball announcer but in actuality, his field of work was for football. All of the players he announces are fictional. Famed voice actress June Foray also did some uncredited work for Michael and Sean during some of the door scenes.

The author of the original novel Peter Benchley makes a short appearance as the news reporter on the beach. Director Steven Spielberg is the voice on Quint’s marine radio, when Mrs Brody tries to contact her husband on the “Ocra”.
