Barry Williams

Born Sept. 30, 1954 in Santa Monica, Calif., Barry Williams Blenkhorn began studying acting at age 11. He appeared in several TV commercials before making his series debut at age 12 in Run for your Life.

As Greg Brady, Williams became something of a teenage idol, receiving about 6,500 fan letters per week by 1971. Williams' post-Brady theater credits include "Born Yesterday," "The Music Man," "Grease" and his run in a non-union production of "The Sound of Music" for which he was fined and chastised by the Actor's Equity Association.

Williams made over 150 episodic TV appearances in such series as That Girl, Full House, Murder, She Wrote, General Hospital and Three's Company. Williams co-authored an autobiography, Growing up Brady: I Was a Teenage Greg, which spent three months on the New York Times best-seller list. He also participated in a boxing match with The Partridge Family star Danny Bonaduce; Williams lost. He remains close friends with Christopher Knight and has appeared in episodes of his reality series My Fair Brady.
