Mike Lookinland
By the time Mike Lookinland scored the role of Bobby Brady in 1969, he had already appeared in more than 30 TV commercials. Born in Utah, his family relocated to Southern California in the mid-'60s. When a co-worker of Lookinland's father remarked on the then 7-year-old's wholesome looks, the family was encouraged to send him out on a few auditions. He was soon cast in commercials for Band-Aid, Cheerios and a series of ads for Eldon Toys.
In 1969, Lookinland was offered parts in two sitcoms, The Brady Bunch and The Courtship of Eddie's Father. His family chose The Brady Bunch, because they felt it would be better for him to be around other kids. During his Brady years, Lookinland appeared in other sitcoms like Funny Face and The Wonderful World of Disney, as well as a few educational films like Germs and the Space Visitors. He was the voice of Oblio in the animated classic The Point and appeared in the 1974 disaster film The Towering Inferno. Lookinland has returned for every Brady reunion. In 2004, he worked as a cameraman for the TV series Everwood.
