Samuel Lloyd Haynes (September 19, 1934 – January 1, 1987[1]) was an American actor and television writer, best known for his starring role in the Emmy Award-winning series Room 222.

Biography

Haynes served in the Marines from 1952–1964 and during the Korean War. He was a public-affairs officer for the Naval reserve with the rank of Commander.

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). Haynes also appeared in a number of television series, such as Batman, the second Star Trek pilot episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before", and the miniseries 79 Park Avenue. Haynes was dropped from Star Trek because series producer Gene Roddenberry preferred actress Nichelle Nichols over him.

Haynes also appeared on television shows such as Hotel, The Green Hornet, The Fugitive, The FBI, Marcus Welby, M.D., and as Station 8's Captain Stone on Emergency! in 1975.

Haynes received the most recognition for his role as schoolteacher Pete Dixon in the ABC situation comedy series Room 222, with Michael Constantine and Karen Valentine. Haynes and Valentine were both nominated for an Emmy and Golden Globe Award for their roles.

Death

Haynes died of lung cancer at the age of 52.[2]

Personal life

Haynes was an accomplished light airplane pilot, and developed a program to encourage and train minorities in aviation. After one year on Room 222, Haynes divorced his wife Elizabeth in 1970. The following year, in 1971, he married his second wife Saundra Burge but divorced her in 1973 during the fourth season on Room 222. After ten years alone, Haynes married a third time in March 1983 to Carolyn Inglis, with whom he had a four-year-old daughter, Jessica Haynes, at the time of his death. Haynes was a native of South Bend, Indiana. He died in Coronado, California from lung cancer. His tombstone lists the date of death as January 1, 1987. His Room 222 on-screen romance, actress Denise Nicholas, was in attendance at Haynes' small private funeral in San Diego County. At the time of his final illness, Haynes was co-starring in the television soap opera General Hospital as Mayor Ken Morgan, and was commuting from Coronado to Hollywood for filming, as he was working up until the time of his death.[3][4]
