Former Jaws actor Jonathan Searle is set to become the next police chief of Oak Bluffs in Martha’s Vineyard — the same town in which the iconic movie was filmed.
The Oak Bluffs select board, a body comprised of the town’s chief elected officials, voted earlier this week to offer Searle a position as the next police chief.
The police department posted a message Wednesday on Facebook welcoming Searle to the position.
Decades ago, a young Searle played one of the pranksters with a cardboard fin in Jaws, which prompted panic on the beach, according to The Daily Jaws.
Sgt. Searle comes to the role with years of experience in the Edgartown police department under his belt. Edgartown and Oak Bluffs neighbor each other on Martha’s Vineyard.
“It’s something I’ve been working toward my whole career,” Searle told the Vineyard Gazette.
Searle did not immediately respond to request for comment from NPR.
