I always loved Jeff Kramer and his character of Deputy Hendricks too. Hendricks is a well-meaning, lovable sort of buffoon. When Brody is fired, Hendricks is promoted to Chief of Police and says to Brody "Not only don't I want your job, but I came here to tell you that I think you're the greatest", it breaks my heart.
Most folks voice changes significantly in a 45-50 year window. When I listened to the audio only for a few minutes (just to focus on his voice) I didn't notice much of a difference in Jeffrey Kramer's voice in 2023 as it sounded in 1975 & 78.
I really love that you not only created this channel but also being able to locate some of the cast from part 2 and put together a series of interviews for us. So, so awesome. Many people, including myself, have been wondering what these once young actors have been up to all these years.
Thank you so much
Deputy Hendrix is definitely one of the best costars of any film series. He is so relatable and likable that he is an indelible part of the Jaws saga. On a sidenote, my parents took me and my older brother to see Jaws at a drive-in, theater, 1975. They had never seen it but heard about it and we all went as a family. It is the first film I remember seeing and it is still my favorite film of all time. I was five years old.
He nailed it! Hendricks IS the common Everyman, the person who shows up everyday to work, does the best he can, and respects those around him. What a classy actor!
Such a nice guy! Glad he had such a great experience in two indelible films.
These interviews are amazing and it’s great to see you being able to reach out to talk to as many people from the film as you could. Great job!
These interviews are treats!
He and Roy (RIP) just clicked in both Jaws and Jaws 2.
I absolutely love these interviews. Jeff is 100% correct in saying that the fan base is passing the love of this franchise onto their children. It’s a family tradition at my house to watch Jaws and Jaws 2 before the start of Summer. Thank you!
Great interview, always liked his character, he's looking great and could be in a jaws netflix series! 😊
All the main characters from 1 & 2 are so memorable & the actors were so believable & likable. They did a great job like they had been playing those roles for years. Thank you for this💙
Loved This Interview! I’m glad Jeff Kramer as Deputy Hendricks was included in this series of interviews!
I really like how in the scene at Brody's house after he's fired, both of the Brody's call him "Jeff", not "Lenny" or "Hendricks"; until after he leaves and Brody says "poor Hendricks..."
I've tried to find out why Lenny Hendricks became Jeffry Hendricks in Jaws 2. Nothing seems to be mentioned in blooper notes, any one know why.
@@peterginkel3042 it's not, they just called him by his real name accidentally, and it somehow made it in the film
Super nice guy. I met him at JawsFest in 2012 and was such a friendly fellow!
Thank you so much for bringing us these amazing interviews.
Oh Roy’s best scene in the movie. And my favorite non shark scene. Roy was so good.
Gr8 interview with Jeff, my favourite film ever is Jaws... 👏👏
There’s two ideas I have both prequels. The first one would be about really exploring Chief Brody’s fear of the water and what happened with Martin Brody before moving to Amity Island and becoming Police Chief. The other idea would be before Brody moves to Amity and it would be about the mayor trying to cover up people being attacked by a shark because I’ve always wondered if there has been previous shark attacks that the mayor was trying to hide in the jaws film.
Awesome! He should also wear a hat that says Haddonfield Family Dentistry for his small role in Halloween 2 81. We all yelled “Hendricks!!!” in the theater when he showed up 👍😊
Yep, when I met him I had him sign a photo from both films
My wife and I bumped into Jeff on Martha's Vineyard years ago when he was there for a book signing. 1. I got a cracking photo of myself with Jeff, taken by my wife. 2. Jeff went out of his way to give me a signed still from Jaws complete with a personal message.
I have to say hand on heart, Jeff Kramer is one hell of a nice bloke... Considering we only crossed paths a few times over a couple of days on the island, Jeff made me feel like I'd made a new friend. I asked my wife if I was a bit star struck or something, she said no, Jeff is just such a genuine person you actually feel like you've known him all your life. Much Love and Health to Jeff.
JAWS 2 is my favorite!! I watch Jaws and Jaws 2 as one big movie called JAWS: The Chief Martin Brody Story
Jeff is such a wonderful guy. He is part of the Jaws mystique. Part of that chemistry that made the film so memorable. Even though his part was not huge he really stands out. You remember him. The famous wave when Brody tosses the rocks at the window. The memorable opening scene where he finds the remains of the first victim. That image has almost become like an Andy Warhol painting.
Absolutely Fantastic interview!
Yes excellent interview. jaws and jaws 2 are my all time best films.
Hendricks was such a fun character and really made an impact on the first two films. My pitch for Jaws 5 > Hendricks, now chief of police, faces a similar terror that his predecessor dealt with. A few familiar faces return... Michael Brody, Ellen Brody and a few of the kids from Jaws 2. And you can't do it without Mrs. Taft. That wouldn't be funny at all.
Hi guys this was brilliant, great job as always.
Indeed, one of the greatest sequels in film history. Saw both on opening night.
I need that baseball cap !
Ram packed cinema, queued round the block, late entry.
First person l ever clapped eyes on in JAWS, Hendricks, slumping to his knees on the beach blowing the whistle on a arm covered in crabs 🦀
Whoever did the castings for Jaws, deserves an oscar. One of the greatest character movies of all time.
Have to say, Schieder did an incredible job when you consider he really didn't want to be there. He didn't phone it on and made even the more ridiculous scenes seem authentic.
Such a great interview. Jeffrey is such a nice man, meet him if you get the opportunity.
Jefferey Kramer was involved in 2 major sequels that didn’t get the credit they deserved.
Jaws 2 and Halloween 2
I always found both of these films to be worthy sequels to there blockbuster predecessors
I would definitely like to see a remake of this movie jaws the same way but a lot better and realistic including the second one and the Jaws 3D.
Great interview such a shame it was cut short though…. Would been interesting to hear about shots on the boat when they pull the cable up? And even stories about the helicopter scenes?
Are these going to be on the 4k disc? These are great!
For real, they cut that voting scene with the Mayor? Same as you, Ross, I always found that kinda touching and a slightly redemptive arc. I had Jaws 2 on VHS and have it on DVD, thought I had the scene in both...will have to check. Sadly don't have the VHS anymore.
“Dance?”
Another Jaws Alumni Who Still Looks Great 😊 Also Appeared In Halloween 2 As Coroner!
"Look, Chief - you're not Chief anymore!....."
Jaws 5: The Return-Hendricks and Mike Brody Battle A New Shark Off The Coast Of Amity Island!!
Steven Spielberg has producers that can help him remake the movie better with an animatronic shark that looks real
"Let Polly do the printing."
Always!
The thing that works with jaws unlike today is they cast people that look like regular people. No one is drop dead gorgeous or looks.out of place . Everyone is so beliveable its like watching a documentary
The JAWS movie should be made like if it was in 1975 they should find somebody that what act the same way and that can play Chief Brody in the Remake if it's is getting a remake
I always wondered why they changed his first name in Jaws 2.
I always thought it was just Roy Scheider saying his real name by accident, in the moment, and they left it in.
I read somewhere it was because Len/Lenny was already the name of the Peterson the businessman on the select committee and they didn’t want to confuse things. Hendricks wasn’t initially cast so they just went with Jeff when he was brought in. Not sure if this was just a cover story for the error though. It would have just been simpler to refer to him as ‘Hendricks’ throughout.
I love him!!!
Those aren't my people. They're from all over the place. Did you see all the license plates out in the parking lot? Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey... I'm all by myself out there.
"Let Polly do the printing"
OMG love this guy!
Out of everyone. Jeff seems to be the everyman actor. The dependable guy. Like Carl Gottlieb comes across. So approachable & happy to share everything. I was 4 when I first saw Jaws. Turned me into the shark & movie fan I am today. ❤❤ Also loved Jeff in CLUE. "I'm sorry my car broke down. Have you a phone I could use?"
This movie could be remade with the same story but much better if he produces the movie Jaws Remake. he could find somebody that could act the part of Chief Brody real good and find somebody that can act a part of Matt hopper. He has to think of how he's going to make the movie if he remakes it
I would like to see an animatronic shark that looks real in the remake if they do one but make this one a classic shark horror movie they should use Robert Shaw's son to play Quint
God he aged really good!
Actually, the so called “deleted” scene WAS present in brazilian tv version of Jaws 2 - I personally remember it vividly - so, maybe, it was only off from american theatrical cut.
And yes, we all in Brazil saw a giant shark eating people on primetime hour, no restrictions. God saves 80’s Brazilian Television…
I'm going to watch this movie so I can sleep. Not saying it in a bad way (kind of). LOL
Also played Proctor in the Police Academy sequels. Funny guy.
Lance Kinsey played Lt.
Proctor.
He looks Great!
Kramer was in Halloween 2 also a true cult legend
And Chuck Norris’ Hero and the Terror
Saw him in an episode of The Incredible Hulk as well, alongside Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno.
Let Polly do the signs.
What's a 908?
Legend
❤
Lets get out of here before we do find something!!
Wonder if film crews saw real sharks while there.?
The best thing is to text Steven Spielberg for permission to Remake JAWS not with Dwayne Johnson the movie would not be a classic find actors that would act the same as the characters from the original people that were cast for the original jaws lake Roy scheider Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfus. He could find actors that would act the same just put hard work in it like you did with the original one with a better animatronic shark that looks real
Whats a 908? :)
It's a shame causevJaws never got to eat this damn deputy. Darn
The problem with the second Jaws is that the shark folded its mouth in the part wen they pulled Michael out of the water back into the sailboat when his friends saved his life that part was not so realistic because the great white shark is not going to fold his mouth like that when it opens in a cense they ruined it for the first one the third one the part where the guy gets eaten by the great white shark almost at the end of the movie they show him holding the bomb out of the sharks mouth he was supposed to be in the shark stomach in all the 3 last jaws movies they make mistakes
What the heck is a 908? Did he have to go to the bathroom?
Hendricks I need you to look at this 908.
908? Chief, what the hell is a 908?
It means "get me the hell out of there!"
love jaws 2
Anyone notice Scheider calls Hendricks "Jeff" in the scene at the house?
I can't believe they let it through! Must not have noticed!
I was hoping this interview would at last address it. Oh well.
