PortrayalEdit

In the film Jaws which is based on the infamous 'Amity Incident', Alex is seen speaking with Mrs. Kintner at the beach on Amity Island. Shortly thereafter, Alex enters the water and is seen having fun paddling on a raft. This activity draws the shark into the shallows and Alex is eventually attacked by the shark and devoured. Unofficially, Alex is the shark's second victim of the day following the disappearance of a dog named 'Pippin'.

To this day, the actor that portrayed Alex Kintner (Jeffery Voorhess) still has trouble being comfortable swimming, and is ironically now a restaurant manager at 'The Wharf' on the actual Island of Martha's Vineyard, The restaurant still serves a sandwich called 'The Alex Kintner' by special order.
