'Goodbye Girl' Actor Says Goodbye to Movie Acting
Richard Dreyfuss is quitting films. The actor told the BBC's Radio Times magazine, "I've made 40-plus films and there are only four I didn't enjoy, and, without denigrating it, I want to do something else." Dreyfuss indicated that whenever he has told friends of his plans, they have responded, "Are you OK? How do you feel about being a failure?" However, he insisted, "I just got bored." Last July, Dreyfuss reacted angrily when he learned that PBS had bleeped his dialogue in a TV play titled Cop Shop. He is currently appearing in preview performances of Mel Brooks' musical, The Producers, in London.
That's a shame, I've always felt he was a good, but underrated actor. My favorite movie he starred in was, surprise, JAWS. What was yours?

Maybe he'll change his mind!! ;D My fave movies of his are Jaws & American Graffiti. 
He was brilliant in that movie! Def deserved the Oscar.
