Sand joined The Second City as a replacement for original cast member Roger Bowen and went to Los Angeles with the cast of Live from the Second City for its successful pre-Broadway trial at the Ivar Theatre before going on to appear in dozens of television, film, and theater projects, including winning a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Play in 1971 for Paul Sills’ Story Theatre.

Sand's film and TV credits include The Hot Rock, The Second Coming of Suzanne, The Main Event, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The X-Files, True Colors, The Twilight Zone, Gimme a Break!, St. Elsewhere, Laverne and Shirley, and Bewitched.
