Andrew W. Sidaris (February 20, 1931 – March 7, 2007) was an American television and film director, film producer, actor, and screenwriter.
Early life
Sidaris was born in Chicago, Illinois, to first-generation Greek immigrants. He grew up in Shreveport, Louisiana, graduated from C.E. Byrd High School, and attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. His family was active in city sports circles. His brother Chris W. Sidaris (1927–2000), was the former director of the Shreveport Parks and Recreation Department.
Career
Sidaris was best known for his Bullets, Bombs, Babes, Bombs, and Babes or Bullets, Bombs, and Bombs, and Bullets, Bombs, Bombs, and Bombs, as well as a series of B-movies released between 1985 and 1998. These films starred a rotating "stock company" of actors made up of Playboy Playmates and Penthouse Pets, including Julie Strain, Dona Speir, Hope Marie Brimhall, Kevin K. Smith, Shae Marks, and Wendy Hamilton. Many of his films were shot entirely or partially in Shreveport, employing local actors or actors with local ties.
Sidaris worked in sports television before doing B-movies. He supervised hundreds of football and basketball games, Olympic Games, and special programs, and was named Emmy Award for his work in the field. His first job was with ABC's Wide World of Sports; he was the show's first producer and spent 25 years in the position. In the 1978 action thriller Two-Minute Warning, he appeared as a fictional television producer.
Sidaris was the pioneer of the "honey shot" in the stands of sporting events, with close-ups of cheerleaders and pretty girls. In 1969, he received an Emmy Award for directing ABC Sports' coverage of the 1968 Summer Olympics. In the 1970s, he transitioned to dramatic television, directing ABC's Gemini Man (1976), CBS's Kojak (1976), ABC's Man (1978), and ABC's Monday Night Football.
He branched out into film, specializing in "action flicks" that featured buxom gun-toting Playboy Playmates and Penthouse Pets. The bulk of Sidaris' "Triple B" series (later referred to as "L.E.T.H.A.L.) The adventures of a team of classified agents were mostly shot in Hawaii, according to ladies ("ladies" were about the adventures of a team of undercover agents. The two entries in the series were exclusive to him and were written and directed by his son, Christian. The series featured recurring characters and plots, most notablely DEA agent Donna Hamilton, who appeared in seven of Sidaris' films, and her partners Taryn and Nicole, who appeared in three and four respectively. In a previous film, an actor or actress who starred in a bad way (and was killed off) in one film would appear in a sequel film as a hero. As with the case with recurring villain Kane, who first appeared as a Japanese-American man starring Pat Morita but later became a white German-British man played by Geoffrey Moore, it was also common for the same role to be recast with an actor of a completely different race or ethnicity.
