A native of South Bend, Indiana, Haynes served in the U.S. Marines from 1952 to 1964 and during the Korean War. He was a public affairs officer for the Naval Reserve with the rank of Commander and an alumnus of San Jose State University.[1]

Following his military career, Haynes studied acting at the Film Industries Workshop and Actors West in Los Angeles. His film career included roles in Madigan (1968), Ice Station Zebra (1968), Assault on the Wayne (1971), Look What's Happened to Rosemary's Baby (1976), The Greatest (1977), and Good Guys Wear Black (1978). He also appeared in a number of television series, such as Batman and the miniseries 79 Park Avenue (1977). He played Communications Officer Alden in the second Star Trek pilot episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (1965), but was replaced by Nichelle Nichols as Lt. Uhura when the series went into production the following year.[3]

He was best known as high school history teacher Pete Dixon in the comedy-drama series Room 222, with Denise Nicholas, Michael Constantine, and Karen Valentine.
