Now this forum is getting somewhere! Finally a thread for Lloyd.

I loved it when that kid (Jason?) would tilt his head, grin, and say 'Mista DIX-on'

Oh yeah! Thanks for the infomation. Here is a man that had to deal with some serious racism yet managed through talent/drive to be the main star on a hit tv show in the 60's. I grew up watching him and always appreciated his style. He really appeared to be made for the TV screen more so than the big movie screen ala David Janssen.
From the NY Times link posted above this little gem
"He served in the Marine Corps from 1952 to 1964 and then as a public-affairs officer for the Naval reserve, with the rank of Commander."

Active duty marine for 14 years then into the reserves. Very impressive. I wonder if he stayed in the military as long as he did as a sort of plan B as he was getting his acting career together...would be great to see a bio of him.

Well, I hate to hear that, but I do remember thinking this show sucked when I was a kid, probably not old enough to appreciate what it set out to accomplish. Sure had a thing for Karen Valentine though...

I remember this show as a kid, and remember thinking how handsome Lloyd Haines was.

Oh man, I never knew he was gone. I always liked room 222 as a kid.

[Town Without Pity]

I loved him on Room 222...loved that show. Sounds like he was a cool guy. May he RIP.
