My Take
Charles Haid interests me as a genuine two-way talent. Trained seriously — Palo Alto High, then Carnegie Mellon — he's best known as Officer Renko on Hill Street Blues, but what catches my eye is that he didn't settle for acting. He stepped behind the camera and won a Directors Guild of America Award. Directors who have lived inside performances tend to film actors with a warmth and patience others lack, and I suspect that's his edge. Versatile on the surface, but a craftsman who clearly took each job to heart.
