Sid Haig (born July 14, 1939) is an American film actor. His roles have included acting in Jack Hill's blaxploitation films of the 1970s as well as his role as Captain Spaulding in Rob Zombie's horror films House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. He has appeared in many television programs including Batman, Star Trek, Mission: Impossible, Gunsmoke, Buck Rogers, The A-Team, The Fall Guy, and MacGyver.

Haig was born Sidney Eddy Mosesian in Fresno, California and was raised in an Armenian American community. His father, Haig Mosesian, was an electrician. Haig's career began somewhat by accident.

As a youth, his rapid physical growth interfered with his motor coordination, prompting him to take dancing lessons. At the age of seven, he was a paid dancer in a children’s Christmas show, and later joined a vaudeville revival show. Haig also displayed musical talent particularly for the drums, prompting his parents to buy him a drum set, on which he mastered a wide range of musical styles, including swing, country, jazz, blues and rock and roll.

He found it easy to earn money with his music, and signed a recording contract one year out of high school. Haig went on to record the single "Full House" with the T-Birds in 1958 which shot to #4 on the charts.
