Sid Haig has been around forever. He got started acting in the 60's - with movies like Spider Baby, and appearances on TV shows like Batman and Mission: Impossible.
 |
| He menaced James Bond in Diamonds Are Forever. |
 |
| He was the villain on Saturday morning's Jason of Star Command in the 70's. |
 |
| And he's still going strong! |
He also knows good pop culture blogging when he sees it - and as you might expect if you know anything about him - he gets a little salty in his affection - so this clip is NSFW!
Thanks, Mr. Haig! Hey! Get out of there, Bill Moseley!
Until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!
A photobomb by Moseley while you're sitting next to Sid Haig? PRICELESS.
ReplyDeleteExactly how I described it when I saw it. Best of all - no one let it slip while it was happening and I had no idea it had happened until I was reviewing the pictures later. AWESOME.
DeleteGreat post Craig ! Sid is still one of the nicest guys you'll ever want to meet. Looking forward to seeing him again next month.
ReplyDeleteAs am I - and seeing you as well!
DeleteBest photobomb ever!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures, Craig, and I'm a huge fan of Haig. He was excellent in the Jack Hill exploitation films, and the Rob Zombie 1000 Corpses/Devil's Rejects Double bill. I think he's sadly underused in most genre films, though; his name and face gets stuck on a lot of dreck, and they never seem to know what to do with him. Hopefully he gets a few more decent roles in the near future.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree that most recent films don't give him a lot to do - but at the same time even having him walk through does boost the movie - at the very least for the time he's onscreen. He's a lot of fun at conventions - and he's seemingly everywhere you go - at breakfast he'll be at the next table - berating Ken Foree about something - or walking the convention hallways - or at his table, making goo goo eyes at the pretty young girls who come to see him.
