Sidney Eddie Mosesian, better known as Sid Haig, was born in Fresno, California on July 14, 1939. As a child Sid was growing so fast that he was awkward and lacked coordination. To remedy this problem his mother enrolled him in dance lessons, which marked the beginning of his career. At the age of seven he was paid for dancing in a children's Christmas show, followed by a failed revival of a vaudeville show.

Dancing was not the only talent that Sid excelled in as an adolescent. After years of cooking in dented pots and pans, Sid's parents invested in a drum set. Sid had a natural knack for music and the drums proved to be only the beginning of a lifelong passion for music. One year after graduating from high school Sid signed his first recording contract.

Making money and playing music seemed to go hand in hand for Sid. Even with all of the talents that Sid possessed, there was one interest that took priority and helped create the man we know and love....ACTING!

Alice Merrill was the head of the drama department during Sid's high school career and she gave him all the encouragement he needed to pursue his dream of acting. During his Senior year, Dennis

rgan, a famous musical comedy star from the 1940's, suggested that Merrill cast Sid into a leading role. After seeing the performance Mr. Morgan encouraged Sid to continue to pursue an acting career. Two years later Sid enrolled in the world famous "Pasadena Playhouse."

Sid's first job was in Jack Hill's student film, "The Host," at UCLA. The film has been released as a companion disk to "Switchblade Sisters."
