Early life
Sandy was born in Dayton, Ohio, the son of Austin and Dolores Sandy.[1] He attended Fairmont High School in Kettering, Ohio, and lived in Moraine, Ohio. He later attended Wilmington College in Wilmington, Ohio, and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City.[2]

Career
Sandy's early TV career included appearances on several soap operas in the early 70s, and a number of appearances as a guest on shows including Medical Center, Barnaby Jones, and Starsky & Hutch.[3]

Sandy's most notable role was as Andy Travis, the new program director at a struggling radio station on the CBS sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati. The idea for the show was based on the real experiences of several people who had worked in the industry, including creator Hugh Wilson. [4]

Although - He has said that it bothers him being known for a 70's TV show.[9]

Eh, no offense, but I don't want anything about WKRP put on College Game Day. Talk to outsiders about Cincinnati and they'll tell you the only thing they know is the TV show, and it is usually not put in a positive way.
