Michael Tucker ("L.A. Law," "Chicken Soup for the Soul") heads the "blended family" cast of "Growing Up Brady," the NBC World Premiere movie chronicling the behind-the-scenes antics of America's favorite family show and based on original cast member Barry Williams (Greg Brady) and Chris Kreski's best-selling book, "Growing Up Brady: I Was a Teenage Greg."Tucker stars as producer Sherwood Schwartz, the often bemused and embattled creator of the classic comedy. Adam Brody ("The Silencing") portrays the young Barry Williams, and Williams (who has a co-executive producer credit on the film) appears as his present-day self. In a novel casting twist, original cast member Michael Lookinland (Bobby Brady) makes a cameo appearance as a cameraman (his real-life profession) and his son, Scott Michael Lookinland, portray his own father, playing the elder Lookinland from the era when he starred on the series as Bobby Brady. Sherwood Schwartz ("Gilligan's Island"), the original series' producer, also has a cameo role.
The true story about the filming of "The Brady Bunch," the beloved `70s "family-hour" comedy series, was often times as funny, and certainly more dramatic, than the actual series which ran from September 1969 to August 1974. The cast members included a lady with three daughters who married a widower with three sons, as well as the family's housekeeper -- united nine different personalities, who grew, fought and forged life long friendships.
