Sid Haig has passed away
Sad to hear that Sid Haig has passed away at the age of 80. In early September 2019, hewas hospitalized after falling at his home in Los Angeles.While recovering, he suffered from a lung infection and he never recovered.
His wife, Susan L. Oberg, shared the news:
Sidney Eddie Mosesian 7/14/39 – 9/21/19 Husband, Father, Grandfather, Friend. Goodnight, my love. We will find each other again, next time. I love you.
Many of you will know him as the iconic Captain Spaulding in Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects and 3 From Hell, but he has had a very long career in acting.
He starred in the films THX 1138, Diamonds Are Forever, Coffy, Foxy Brown, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill: Volume 2, Bone Tomahawk and many more. He also appeared in numerous TV shows, including Batman, Star Trek, Mission: Impossible, Gunsmoke, The Rockford Files, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Get Smart, Fantasy Island, Sledge Hammer!, The A-Team, The Fall Guy, The Dukes of Hazzard, Just the Ten of Us and MacGyver.
He retired from acting back in 1992 as he felt he was being typecast. However, in 2003 Haig starred in Rob Zombie’s debut film House of 1000 Corpses as Captain Spaulding and the rest is history.
A great actor and it will be sad to no longer see him on the big screen.
