He was a member of the Sierra Club and a founder of the ecological interest group, Wilderness World.
In his acting career, Hayes appeared primarily on westerns, but he also had starring or recurring roles in several series, including The Everglades, The Rounders, and Lassie.
Hayes was born to Sam Hayes and the former Marion de Rode Brune in San Francisco. Both parents were heavily involved in the theater and acting. Hayes graduated in 1952 from nearby Stanford University with a degree in foreign relations. Hayes was a United States Marine in the Korean War. After military service, Hayes worked for radio station KSJO in San Jose, California.
In 1957, Hayes moved with his wife, Joan, and their three children, Vanessa, Peter, and Heidi, to Hollywood to launch an acting career.
