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.[3] For other kinds of drums, see drum (disambiguation). ...

The Pasadena Playhouse When Sid was in high school, the head of the drama department was Alice Merrill, who encouraged him to pursue an acting career.[4] Merrill was a famous Broadway actress who maintained her contacts in the business. During his senior year, a play was produced in which Merrill double cast the show, to have one of her Hollywood friends assess the actors in order to select the final cast. The Hollywood contact who saw Haig perform was Dennis Morgan, a big musical comedy star from the 1940s, who chose Sid for a prominent role in the play. Two weeks later, he returned to see the show and advised Sid to continue his education in the San Fernando Valley and consider acting as a career. Two years later, Sid enrolled in the Pasadena Playhouse[5], the school that trained such noted actors as Robert Preston, Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman. For other uses of Broadway, see Broadway. ...

Post 1990s and today After forty years of playing gun-toting tough guys, Sid Haig retired on account of getting typecast: "I just didn’t want play stupid heavies anymore. They just kept giving me the same parts but just putting different clothes on me. It was stupid, and I resented it, and I wouldn’t have anything to do with it."[8] Haig did not work in acting for five years, instead training and becoming a certified Hypnotherapist.[9] Then, in 1997, Quentin Tarantino wrote the part of the judge in Jackie Brown specifically for Haig, whose acting prospects continued to improve.[10] : Hypnotherapy is therapy that is undertaken with a subject in hypnosis. ...
