His life after Greg Brady…

In 1974, The Brady Bunch was cancelled three weeks before shooting for season six was about to begin.

Barry decided that this was his chance to try something new and went on to star on the stage.

He ended up touring with productions such as Romance/ Romance, The Sound of Music, West Side Story and Grease.

He did eventually return to TV and ended up being typecast in roles very similar to Greg.

However, he did get to play a different type of role when he was cast as Hannibal on General Hospital.

How being a Brady influenced Barry Williams’ net worth…

Although at the time The Brady Bunch wasn’t overly popular, it became iconic in teenage upbringing. Hence, there were many TV reunions, such as the 1988 A Very Brady Christmas, The Brady Brides (1981) and The Brady Bunch Movie (1995).
