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: I think faith has a lot to do with all the choices you make in life, personal and professional. I try to make decisions that are consistent with what I believe and reflect it in my work. I do like most Christian music.
A: I have kept a record of photos over the years but don’t have any of the props from our original show.
A: Pepperdine University in Malibu.
A: No but I think it’s kind’ve strange that anyone would be interested in my dating life from so many years ago.
A: For the Grand Canyon and Hawaii trips the parents of the kids all came(or at least one) and Frances Whitfield. Coincidentally, my parents were also in Hawaii on a business trip so were all there together although I didn’t require a guardian at that time.
A: I have skimmed through them but not read them. And you may not be surprised to learn that although they used our pictures they did not send us any copies. The first time I knew the books existed was at an appearance when someone asked me to sign one.
A: He was very good in both of them and Archie Bunker’s Place too. But I am partial to his "Sam the Butcher". He added a lot to our show and I am glad he is so well remembered for it.
A: I have someone read through the script with me. I focus on the meaning of the dialogue and do it over and over. Sometimes I will do a speed drill or take a section and do it 10 times in a row. Basically it is practice practice practice. Thanks for askin’.
A: An interesting idea you present. I think the way in which that is handled would be very important. I think most Brady watchers like the reassurance that "everything always works out". The times we have delved much deeper as a Bunch the reactions have not been very positive. Who knows?
A: I added a basketball, a surfboard and things for specific episodes but basically the room was created by the set decorator. One of the posters, the clown on the wall, was for Sherwood Schwartz’s benefit. He was a head writer on the Red Skelton Show.
