Billy Van Zandt Talks JAWS 2

What is it like dying in the jaws of a great white shark? I am joined by actor and author and JAWS 2 historian Billy Van Zandt. Billy himself didn't know if he lived or died until seeing the biggest sequel of all time in the theaters himself. Billy Van Zandt was one of the stars of JAWS 2. We spend our time together discussing what it was like to be a part of the biggest sequel of all time. Billy guides us through his audition process, the many directors, the script changes, the location changes, the complete cast changes... everything that culminated in the movie we all know and love, JAWS 2. This episode is a fun trip down memory lane for Billy Van Zandt and a joy ride for fans of the film. Billy shares stories about all his castmates, learning to sail, doing his stunts, his almost gruesome death, Roy Scheider, Carl Gottlieb, Joe Alves, Lorraine Gary, Jeannot Szwarc and so much more!
