Sid Haig was brought up in an Armenian community by his parents – Sid later adopted his father’s Christian name. As a child he was very interested in dancing, and by the age of seven he was already a paid dancer in a Christmas show for children, after which he became a member of a vaudeville revival show. Later, he began playing the drums, and in his teens, Sid signed a one-year contract, releasing a single entitled “Full House” via the T-Birds in 1958, which reached No. 4 on the charts. However, while in high school, Sid was spotted by the head of the drama department Alice Merrill, who encouraged him to pursue a career as an actor. He enrolled at the Pasadena Playhouse, and was tutored by such successful actors as Gene Hackman, Robert Preston, Dustin Hoffman; after the course was over he moved to Hollywood.
Sid made his debut appearance in the short film “The Host” (1960), directed by Jack Hill; during the 1960s he built his name, appearing mostly in roles as a villain in such productions as “The Fireband” (1962), “Mission: Impossible” (1966-1970), and “Get Smart” (1967-1970) among others. He started the 1970s with a role in George Lucas` “THX” (1971), starring Robert Duvall, and in 1972 he teamed up with Jack Hill again, and starred in his “The Big Bird Cage” alongside Pam Grier and Anitra Ford. Again in 1973 he featured in Hill`s film “Coffy”, and once more with Pam Grier. In 1975 he appeared in Joseph Penvey`s “Who Is the Black Dahlia”, starring Efrem Zimbalist Jr., Brooke Adams and Donna Mills, while in 1976 he got the role of Texas in the TV series “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman” (1976-1977), and then from 1978 until 1979 he played Dragos in the TV series “Jason of Star Command”; all these increased his net worth by a large margin.

He continued into the early 1990s, with roles in “The Forbidden Dance” (1990), “Genuine Risk” (1990), and “Boris and Natasha” (1992), before he decided to retire from acting, as he became bored with the one dimensional characters.
However, he returned to acting in 1997, with the role of the Judge in Quentin Tarantino`s “Jackie Brown”, starring Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Forster, and in 2003 starred as Jack Spaulding in Rob Zombie`s debut film “House of the 1000 Corpses”, with Karen Black and Bill Moseley, repeating the role in the sequel “Devil`s Rejects” in 2005. In 2004, he appeared as Jay in Tarantino`s Oscar-nominated action drama “Kill Bill: Vol. 2”, with Uma Thurman, David Carradine and Michael Madsen. His net worth was rising steadily.
