Biography
Bespectacled Sidney Lassick looked more like a vice-principal or shop steward than an actor. This lack of showbiz slickness came in handy for the "everyman" roles assigned him. Lassick played the manic-depressive Cheswick in
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) and the sarcastic English teacher in
Carrie (1976), to cite two roles among dozens. More recently, Sidney Lassick was seen in
The Further Adventures of Tennessee Buck (1988) and
Deep Cover (1992) ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
