Sid Haig Passes at 80

Character actor Sid Haig has passed. The actor, most known for his character Captain Spaulding in Rob Zombie’s Firefly Family Trilogy. For those who followed Haig, he had recently come across some health problems but rumors were that he was recovering, so this was a big shock for me.
