Biography

Peter Haskell (October 15, 1934 – April 12, 2010) was an American actor who worked primarily in television. Haskell was born in Boston, Massachusetts, the son of Rose Veronica (nÊe Golden) and geophysicist Norman Haskell. He attended Browne & Nichols and later earned a Bachelor of Arts degree at Harvard University following a two-year stint in the United States Army where he rose to the rank of Private First Class.

Haskell's plan to study at Columbia Law School was derailed when he was cast in the off-Broadway play The Love Nest, with James Earl Jones and Sally Kirkland in 1963. Haskell subsequently appeared in numerous television shows throughout the 1960s, 70s and 80s including as a regular on the soap operas Search for Tomorrow and Ryan's Hope.

His film appearances include the title role in The Legend of Earl Durand, Riding the Edge and Robot Wars, though he is best known for playing Mr. Sullivan, the CEO of Playpals Toys, in David Kirschner's Child's Play 2 and Child's Play 3.
