Sid haig
Tall, bald, bearded and menacing in appearance, he played the killer clown in Rob Zombie’s brutal films “House of a Thousand Corpses” and “The Devil’s Renegades.” In addition, Sid Haig had a long career as a secondary, coming to work under the orders of George Lucas and Quentin Tarntino. The actor died at the age of 80 on Saturday, September 21, 2019, after several days hospitalized as a result of a stroke, as Suzie, his wife, has announced on social networks. “My light, my heart, the other half of my soul, has moved from this realm to the next,” the text explains.
Born on July 14, 1939, in Fresno, California, Sidney Eddy Mosesian spent his childhood in an Armenian community.

Although he was involved in numerous series, such as Mission Impossible , and was present in George Lucas ‘s debut , THX 1138 , Sid Haig was never lucky. But it’s also that when she came to meet him… he couldn’t distinguish her.

Finally, the director replaced him with Ving Rhames , before which he stated in interviews that he always regretted his mistake. Despite everything, Tarantino wrote specifically for him a role as a judge, to Jackie Brown, and would later recover him in Kill Bill, Volume 2 .

He reprized the role in the sequel, The Devil’s Forsaken , and in Three from Hell , released shortly before his death. The trilogy’s director, Rob Zombie , also gave him a brief role, as a graveyard caretaker, in Halloween. The Origin , his deteriorated revision of John Carpenter ‘s classic .
