Barry William Blenkhorn, known professionally as
Barry Williams (born September 30, 1954 in Santa
Monica, California) is an United States|American
actor best known for his role as "Greg Brady" in
the American Broadcasting Company|ABC television
series The Brady Bunch.

Williams decided as a very young child that he
wanted to be an actor, and in 1967 he made his
television debut in an episode of Dragnet
(drama)|Dragnet.  He played guest roles in That
Girl and The Mod Squad before being cast as Greg
Brady in The Brady Bunch sitcom in 1969.   As the
eldest of the kids, his storylines often involved
his romances and as the Greg character reached his
mid-teens the show's producers began to groom and
promote Williams as a teen idol.  With the show's
demise in 1974, Williams was unable to attract the
type of high profile roles that might have
expanded on his earlier success.   He resumed
playing guest roles on television, and became
involved in musical theatre, touring with
productions such as Grease, The Sound of Music 
and West Side Story, as well as making
unsuccessful attempts to establish a career as a
recording artist. 

In 1992 his autobiography Growing Up Brady spent
three months on the New York Times bestseller
list.   

Always proud of his success with The Brady Bunch,
Williams has appeared in various Brady TV movie
reunions, has built a cabaret act that pays
tribute to his past, and has played himself in
Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star (2003).

Williams also featured as himself in the video to
the Peter Gabriel song The Barry Williams Show.
