QUINT
Orca's Maniacally Legendary Skipper



The Orca might of been remembered as just another boat had English actor Robert Shaw not been cast as the stoically unforgettable captain Quint. It was Marion Quint that set the tone as the wisdom soaked anchor character to the gang of three. Never one to exit quietly, Quint would ultimately lead Brody and Hooper on a misbegotten one way adventure against an unsuspectingly worthy opponent with fins. Quint was on a self-destructive road to glory and there was nobody that could stop him...no one human. To best describe Quint is to describe Robert Shaw the Artist as both were intertwined in turmoil creatively, emotionally and later financially. It was this set of hardships that would ultimately and unfortunately lead to an untimely end. However it would be this demise that would make M. Quint a legend for all seasons among folk heroes and anti-heroes alike. Robert Shaw portrayed Quint and a plethora of diverse character types instilling years of acting and life experience gained through decades of quality fraught, hard work. Among a multifarious display of classic characterizations, Quint stands alone as Shaw's coup de'la grace; A signature piece any actor would be proud of.
