Jaws 2 star dies aged 56 after long battle with cancer

JAWS 2 star Marc Gilpin has died at the age of 56 after a long battle with cancer.

Gilpin played the younger son of Roy Scheider’s Police Chief Martin Brody in the 1978 sequel to the blockbuster Jaws, directed by Steven Spielberg.

His older sister, Frasier actress Peri Gilpin, announced his tragic death, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

He passed away in Dallas, Texas, after battling glioblastoma – a fast-growing and aggressive brain tumour.

A fundraiser was set up in May last year to help Gilpin, his wife Kaki, and their two sons as they “faced the unimaginable”.
