The Greg Brady Project
Welcome to the official Barry Williams' blog
My friends call me Barry. From time to time I also hear the name Greg. Yeah, as in Greg Brady. The Brady Bunch represents a fun time in my life. But it’s only part of the story. There’s more to say and that’s what The Greg Brady Project is all about – a place to say it. So, I’ve invited some friends to join me and share their perspectives on the Brady’s, the 70′s and just about everything else. Now, I’m inviting you…
A: Sure I think about it regularly and have tried to get a few ideas made into series. It has a lot to do with timing and the type of project but I enjoy the work and I think will do another show soon.
A: I have worked with Rob Reiner and Sally Struthers a few times but never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. OConner. I am a big fan though.
A: Martha Quinn, who played Bobby Brady’s wife was a lot of fun. She was a huge fan of our original show and was so excited to become a "Brady". She had some great stories from her MTV VJ days and has become a friend.
A: Sure, and I think he is doing a great job. I understand he used his role on Growing Up Brady in his demo tape which helped him land the job on OC.
A: I loved playing over at Bucks County. That was a part of a summer tour I did with that show, which followed nearly a year on the road with the Broadway National Tour. Bucks is a very artistic town, not too far from the City with lots of great little restaurants. Theatres and venues range in size. I have sung in stadiums with over 50,000 people and local theatres with 99 seats. Probably an average size is about 2,000. And thanks for keeping my comments safe.
A: Every actor has a "stand in." They assist the crew with preparing shots to be filmed by taking the actors’ place while the camera and lights are set. This saves the company time so the actors can prepare for the scene. Frank and Sadie are little people and as the series continued Michael and Susan outgrew them. To continue to approximate their size Frank and Sadie stood atop apple boxes to match our growing family. Yes, I had a stand in too, but I had a couple of different people during our five year run.
A: Movies and I like the type that tell stories like Lost In Translation or Mystic River more than action adventure special effects types of films.
A: We had a blast doing the filming. I got on with them great (they were Brady fans too) and they were a terrific group who worked very hard. I have to admit I got along with Jo the best ’cause we had the most in common, but they were all great. I am disappointed they broke up. I am sure they had a lot more good music to make.
A: Well, not exactly. In Growing Up Brady, I was showing how difficult it was to contain myself. I wanted to kiss her when we were doing scenes but our first kiss was really during the Hawaiian episodes after filming, on the beach, under a beautiful moon.
A: Had a great time down under. The shows were very well received and I was booked all over the country. Have to say the highlight of my trip was taking the "bridge climb" out over Sydney Harbor. What a thrill. I did the sunset climb and we came back when it was dark. Just beautiful.
