Sid Haig

Sid Haig is exactly the kind of actor I have a soft spot for, the unmistakable character face who becomes a genre legend. To horror fans he's Captain Spaulding from Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects and 3 from Hell, and that role alone earned him icon status. What I appreciate is the longevity: a Fresno kid who worked steadily for decades before that late-career run made him a cult figure. He passed in 2019, but performers like Haig don't really fade because their work keeps finding new audiences. There's a craft to being that memorable in supporting roles that leads tend to overlook.
