Who did Steven Spielberg originally want to play the role of oceanographer Matt Hooper in the movie "Jaws"?
Correct answer: Jon Voight
Mars V
Jaws is a classic example of the movie being far better than the book. In the book Hooper and Brodey’s wife (his former babysitter) have a steamy affair. That would not have worked in the movie at all.
