Sid Haig
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
"Ugly, ruddy faced, usually bald, and occasionally bearded -- he looks like an original member of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention -- Haig has been a seedy presence in low-budget, sex- and action-packed drive-in movies since the mid-sixties." --Cult Movie Stars, p. 233-4 |

Sid Haig (born Sidney Eddie Mosesian, July 14, 1939 – September 21, 2019) was an American actor, film producer, and musician.
He is known for his roles in several of Jack Hill's exploitation films from the 1970s such as Spider Baby, Coffy, The Big Doll House, The Big Bird Cage, Black Mama, White Mama and Foxy Brown; as well as for his appearances in later horror films, most notably his role as Captain Spaulding in the Rob Zombie films House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects and 3 from Hell. Haig's Captain Spaulding, and Haig himself, have been called icons of horror cinema. Haig had a leading role on the television series Jason of Star Command as the villain Dragos. He appeared in many television programs, including The Untouchables, Batman, Gunsmoke, Mission: Impossible, Star Trek, Get Smart, Charlie's Angels, Fantasy Island, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, The Dukes of Hazzard, The A-Team, and MacGyver.
