Early life

Haywood was born in Billericay, Essex, England. He spent his early childhood in Chelmsford before moving to High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire where he attended Royal Grammar School from 1959 to 1965. He then started working in the cellars of a local wine shipper before gaining a place at E15 Acting School. After graduating in 1970 he emigrated to Australia and soon after, he was involved with Sydney's Nimrod Theatre Company and according to an interview with ABC reporter Jane Cowan, actually helped build the premises with scrap timber. He was the Artistic Director of the Pro's and Con's Playhouse at Parramatta Jail for two years. He established the drama service on Kiribati National Radio.[3] Haywood is the Patron of the Friends of Waverley Library where he inaugurated "the Nib" the Waverley Library Literary Award now known as the Mark & Evette Moran Nib Literary Award an annual award of $20,000 given for the quality of research for a published work of literary merit written by an Australian writer and published in the previous 12 months. This prestigious prize has so far distributed around $400,000 directly to deserving Australian authors. Haywood is now the Deputy Captain of VRA Hawkesbury and coxswain of their rescue boat. He is also currently working as a coxswain in the Australian pearling industry for Brocken Bay Pearls, part of the oldest Australian owned pearling company Pearls of Australia.
