Sidney Eddie Mosesian (1939 - 2019) was an often underutilized character actor with the talent, charm, and sarcasm of a leading man. His towering stature, big, bold features, and infectious laugh made him a perfect fit for Jack Hill's exploitation films of the 70s. Sid would solidify a prosperous and steady career on screen but this character actor for hire would eventually step away from acting feeling typecast as just another dimwitted heavy. However, directors like Quentin Tarantino and Rob Zombie had other plans. At the age of 60, Sid would find a whole new act to his storied career. Aaron and Brad touch up their clown makeup as they meet the Merrye clan of SPIDER BABY, break out of the slammer in THE BIG BIRD CAGE, join the Firefly family in THE DEVIL'S REJECTS, and more!
