Showbiz Analysis with Charles Haid

Daily American: Parade Entertainment: Actor and director Charles Haid will forever be remembered as hotheaded Officer Andy Renko from the hit NBC series Hill Street Blues (1981-1987). Playing the “perennial adolescent” cop earned him two Primetime Emmy nominations and the opportunity to work with a talented cast and crew with some fascinating college connections. I recently had the pleasure of catching up with Charles Haid for my special Hill Street Blues series for Parade.com and my podcast Whine At 9. During our conversation, Haid shared memories of the feisty Andy Renko, the synergy of Carnegie Mellon University-affiliated castmates and series co-creator Steven Bochco, and his success after the popular show.
