Real life accounts of Andrews’ final moments differ, however, as some have the British businessman staying in the smoking room while others claim he was last seen throwing deck chairs into the water to serve as floatation devices for passengers.
How He Was Portrayed In The Movie: In the film, Andrews is played by Victor Garber who portrays the shipbuilder as cool, calm, and collected figure amidst the chaos of the ship’s sinking.
The movie last shows Andrews questioning himself as to why he didn’t do more to design a stronger ship that could have survived a collision with an iceberg.
