In this episode, Ross Williams welcomes actor Jim Murray MBE, known for his roles in The Crown, Masters of the Air, and many other screen and stage productions. A longtime friend of The Daily Jaws and a devoted fan of the film, Jim talks about watching Jaws on a bootleg VHS as a child and why it’s remained the gold standard in storytelling ever since.
He explains why Robert Shaw’s performance as Quint has never been bettered - from the voice work to the vulnerability - and shares the story behind naming his dog “Mr. Hooper.” The pair explore the film’s themes of family, fear, trauma, and the pull between past and future, played out so powerfully through Quint, Brody, and Hooper.
And just when Jim thought it was safe to sit down for a podcast, a surprise guest stops by to lay down the law — Deputy Hendricks himself, Jeffrey Kramer.
Jim also weighs in on the sequels, shares his favourite scene (hint: it involves the Brody family at the dinner table), and reflects on the film’s legacy as a blueprint for character-led filmmaking.
