 Spielberg's friend George Lucas suggested Richard Dreyfuss, whom he had directed in "American Graffiti".The actor initially passed, but changed his decision after he attended a pre-release screening of "The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz", which he had just completed.Disappointed in his performance and fearing that no one would want to hire him once "Kravitz" was released, he immediately called Spielberg and accepted the role in "Jaws".
