Spielberg initially approached Jon Voight, Timothy Bottoms, and Jeff Bridges to play oceanographer Matt Hooper. When none of them could commit to the role, Spielberg’s friend George Lucas suggested Richard Dreyfuss, whom Lucas has directed in American Graffiti.

Eben,
You're proof that the internet awards us powers of self righteousness on an hourly basis that exceeds our IQ and goes right to our empty little heads. 1. You're probably surrounded by more "evil capitalist" products that have done more to harm the environment and kill animals than you'll ever admit to. Your make up, shoes, handbags and Iphone for example. 2. considering China kept up the practice of serving shark fin soup for decades, killing more than 10,000+ sharks a day, you're anti-american gibberish just shows how ignorant you are. China is currently moving in the right direction to ban the practice, but hey, as long as you look smartererness than everyone else right?

Estella,
Thank you, Estella.
Except for that part about the "smartererness", which I can't quite figure out.
