Sydney Lassick (July 23, 1922 – April 12, 2003), sometimes credited as “Sidney Lassick” or “Sid Lassick”, was an American actor. He studied acting after serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He was best known for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Carrie (1976), and Alligator.
Lassick was somewhat rare among successful actors in that he maintained a non-acting day job—dispatcher for a trucking company—throughout his career.
