Recurring Actors

[BestTVever]

I was listening to an episode of the Real Brady Bros podcast for the episode: Hello, Alice Goodbye. They brought up there were 2 recurring actors in the episode. They stated the talking customer in the diner at the end was in a bunch of earlier episodes but always in the background. This was his first speaking role when he speaks to Alice in the diner. His name was George Hickman and was in a bunch of early 70s TV shows. So I thought it would be fun to start a thread of all the recurring actors we notice. Can anyone name any other Brady Bunch episodes that George was in? I cant remember him.

The Diner manager in Hello Alice, Goodbye also played the magic show employee in the episode Lights Out

The Police officer in the episode Snow White and the 7 Bradys was in the audience behind Alice in the episode The Show Must Go On

Jim Backus plays the old miner in the Grand Canyon episode and then appears as Mr Mathews in the episode The Hustler

Actor Chris Beaumont appears in several episodes. He's the guy that sells Greg the car, then appears in A Room At The Top and then appears in Quarterback Sneak. Its funny because in the earlier episodes he is cast as Greg's friend but then he is Greg's rival in a different high school

Hope Sherwood appears as Greg's date in Greg Gets Grounded and then appears again in Hair Brained Scheme. She is also in the Slumber Caper, and The Big Bet

The Black kid in the episode The Kelly Kids reappears as Bobby's Friend in Mail Order Hero



Ok what have I missed? I know there are more out there.

Was the lady who plays the (annoying) mother of the kid who smoked, in any other episode? I know I've seen her in something else, but it could have been a different show.

Also I'm wondering if the girl Greg met at King's Island was in any other episode.

No. Neither have been in another episode. The mother was a famous actress who was in lots of movies and TV in the 70s. The girl Greg met was in an episode of Cannon or Barnaby Jones once but never another Brady episode

Jackie Coogan from the Adam's family appeared in several episodes.

Yes! He was the guy who had the car accident with Mrs Brady and was also in the episode where the kids try an save Woodland Park.
Was there another one?

Sheri Cowart played Kathy Lawrence in two episodes. But the odd part is she is in back to back episodes with one being Marcia's rival and the other episode she is friends with Marcia.
My Sister Benedict Arnold - Greg brings Kathy to the house to annoy Marcia
the next episode
Personality Kid - Marcia brings Kathy to the house to convince Peter he is interesting in telling a story about a movie

Its funny because Greg's rival also became his friend. The actor first sold Greg a lemon car. They he tried to steal Greg's playbook. But then he is his friend that tries to convince him to move out of the house.

Wasn't Chris Beaumont also the upper classman who picked up the girls textbook, inspiring Greg to try to change into a hippie style.
