Roy Cohn (1927-1986) was an American attorney who rose to prominence for assisting Senator Joseph McCarthy in prosecuting suspected communists during the Red Scare. He also prosecuted Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, who were convicted of espionage and executed. Noted for his tough, hard and brash personality, Cohn viciously attacked and condemned homosexuals because of their sexual orientation. In 1986, he died from AIDs complications.

Roy Kim, South Korean singer, real name Kim Sang Woo.
Roy Horn from the famous duo Siegfried and Roy, he was severely injured by a white tiger named Montecore in 2003, and that unfortunately ended the duo's careers, he died of COVID at 75 in 2020.
I genuinely cannot believe no one has mentioned the late American actor, Roy Scheider, who was known for playing police officer/detective roles, most famously as police chief, Martin Brody, in Steven Spielberg's 1975 summer blockbuster, “Jaws”.
My cat is named Roy. He is a good boy! He's tough and handsome, and looks like a hunting tiger when he is outside stalking the poor birds. All the squirrels start screaming to warn each other when Roy goes out the door. If a fly gets in the house, Roy always smacks it down, eventually. I don't even need a fly-swatter. I named him Roy, short for 'Royal', because he is king of the jungle. (or at least my back yard). He may be tough, but he has a good heart and is very nice. I like the name because it is fading out of American culture. There are hardly any Roy's left anymore. It's a very American, handsome, tough-guy name, in my opinion. So I am doing my part in resurrecting this great classic name of Roy.
2 from DC: Roy Harper aka Speedy, Arsenal, and Red Arrow Roy G. Bivolo aka Rainbow Raider.
