Haynie was born in Falls Church, Virginia, the older of two boys. During his childhood, his family moved around frequently due to his father changing jobs every year or two, residing in various towns in Oklahoma and then Ohio. In his senior year of high school, his family settled in Sunnyvale, California, and after graduating, he headed to UC Davis, where he majored in dramatic art.[3]
Upon moving to San Francisco, Haynie began performing in theatrical presentations at the Magic Theatre, collaborating with Peter Coyote and concert promoter Bill Graham. He entered the film industry in 1978 with a supporting role in Honky Tonk Nights and subsequently appeared in around 100 film and television productions over the following decades.[4] His notable film roles include portraying the school principal in the 1986 teen comedy Pretty in Pink, Jake McDermott in the 1989 tragicomedy Staying Together directed by Lee Grant, Captain Malone in the 1990 action film I Come in Peace, Sheriff Ira Stevens in the 1992 Stephen King adaptation Sleepwalkers, and playing Meryl Streep's character's husband in the 1995 Clint Eastwood romantic drama The Bridges of Madison County.
Haynie portrayed various television roles, including Garrett Gordon in seven episodes of the series Dallas from 1978 to 1979, and also an investigating detective in the 1989 television miniseries I Know My First Name Is Steven, centered around the real case of Steven Stayner.
Haynie died of pneumonia on April 4, 2021, at the age of 81. He was married to Maggie Causey, with whom he had two children. From his previous marriage to Janice McKelheer, he had two children.[5]
