The actor who played Greg Brady in the classic TH show, "The Brady Bunch," Barry Williams, has grown up to be a loving father and a committed family man. He celebrated his 68th birthday on September 30, 1954. After the hit show, the actor's life took a turn down some unique trails.

Barry had always loved acting, and he started working on his skills at a young age. He starred in numerous minor roles until his big break in "The Brady Bunch" in 1969. When the show inevitably ended, he made a living making appearances on stage and in film productions.

The actor made appearances in various obscure and famous projects, including "West Side Story," "Murder, She Wrote," "General Hospital," "Pippin," "Oklahoma," and "Highway to Heaven." While on "The Brady Bunch," he also learned how to sing. After the show ended, he tried his hand at being a musician, but the record label that signed him went out of business.

After Eila, Barry met Elizabeth Kennedy, and the two got married.

"My son is a musician. [Because he is a] full-time student [Brandon] hasn't made any [comments] about going into [music] as a profession."

While his son is still a teenager, his daughter is even younger. The dad said, like his son, he has no idea what the future has in store for Samantha, but he knows she'll be excellent at it. He mentioned she has tremendous talent and the personality to drive her to be successful.

Barry also mentioned that he's unsure whether any of his two kids would go into show business, but he would be right behind them no matter what they decide to pursue in the future. He said as a dad, he wants to see them happy more than anything else.
