The actor Barry William Blenkhorn, also known as Barry Williams, was born on September 30, 1954, in Santa Monica, Calif. Barry began his career by doing TV commercials and made his television debut in 1967 on an episode of "Dragnet." Then he had guest roles in television shows "It Takes a Thief," "Marcus Welby MD" as well as "Mission: Impossible." Then came the role that would typecast him forever, as Greg Brady, on the television classic "The Brady Bunch." Since playing Greg Brady, Barry has formed a cabaret act about his famous family sitcom and even plays himself in "Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star." He is most famous for losing to fellow child star, Danny Bonaduce, in a celebrity-boxing match.
Though California native Barry Williams is best known for wooing far-out, groovy chicks as Greg Brady on the '70s television sitcom The Brady Bunch, he has made a multitude of appearances on the stage and in television since the end of the show in 1974, including a brief role alongside fellow Brady alumni Christopher Knight on an episode of That '70s Show. -Growing Up Brady, Williams' biography, made a strong showing on the New York Times best-seller list. Williams has not made the same efforts to distance himself from The Brady Bunch as several of his former co-stars, and hosts The Brady Bunch with Barry Williams for Sirius Satellite Radio.
