Michael Paul "Mike" Lookinland[1] (born December 19, 1960) is an American actor. He is best known for his role as youngest brother Bobby Brady on The Brady Bunch from 1969 until 1974.
Biography
His father was a Vice Principal at San Pedro High School, located in San Pedro, California - part of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), in the late 1970s. Lookinland grew up as a Mormon. He is a self-professed conservationist and "camping nut".
Lookinland was a TV commercial actor before he was cast in The Brady Bunch, having done around thirty commercials. The actor has natural sandy colored hair, which had to be dyed brown, so as not to confuse the fair-haired sisters/dark-haired brothers scenario of the Brady step-siblings. During the show's run, he also provided the voice of Oblio in the animated film The Point!. Shortly after the final season of The Brady Bunch wrapped filming, he appeared alongside Jennifer Jones and Paul Newman in the 1974 disaster film The Towering Inferno. He recently worked as a cameraman for the WB network.
Since 1987, he has been married to Kelly Wermuth. Kelly worked as a script supervisor on Touched By An Angel. They have two sons: Scott (born 1990) and Joe (born 1993). He was portrayed by his son Scott in the TV movie Growing Up Brady. He was arrested in 1997 with a DWI after crashing his Ford Bronco. He has since been sober.[2]
Lookinland reprised his role as Bobby Brady in the 1988 Christmas special A Very Brady Christmas, and again in the 1990 sequel series The Bradys, in which Bobby Brady had a racing car accident which caused him to be wheelchair-bound throughout the series.
