27	!! He provides examples of:
28	* TheCameo:
29	** Haynes briefly appears in the music video for Andy Grammar's song "Honey, I'm Good". In a video featuring different couples celebrating how long they've been together, Haynes is seen waving a sign saying "third wheel" next to one of the couples.
30	** In "Industry Baby" by Music/LilNasX, he plays a prison guard who secretly has a crush on the rapper.
31	* CreatorBreakdown: Haynes has a long struggle with anxiety and depression due to his past, turning to alcohol and drugs to cope. He departed from ''Arrow'' in 2015 for this reason. After he had sufficiently recovered, however, he could not be happier to return to the show (and he eventually did).
32	* DarkAndTroubledPast: As a gay man who grew up in rural Kansas and the South, Haynes led an unhappy childhood life. When he came out to his parents at the age of 14, his mother ordered him to leave the house (although he later returned). His father committed suicide several years later and he was told the reason was because of the shock he experienced upon finding out that his son is gay. As a result, he became closeted for years, only publicly coming out in 2016.
33	* MrFanservice: His more prominent roles have utilized him as this, complete with requisite {{shirtless scene}}s. ''Rough Night'' is probably the apex example of this for him, since he plays an actual stripper in that film.
34	* PrettyBoy: He tends to ebb and flow between being this and MrFanservice, usually simultaneously.
