Was an Emmy Award-nominated American stage and television actor.He first gained fame in the early 1960s for starring along with E.G. Marshall in the television drama series The Defenders from 1961 to 1965, but gained his greatest fame on the sitcom The Brady Bunch, on which he starred from 1969 to 1974. After winning the role of Mike Brady, he later became unhappy with the part, feeling that acting in the often silly sitcom was beneath his serious Shakespearean training. Despite his discontent with the show as a whole, by most accounts he genuinely liked and was beloved as a father figure by his fellow cast members on The Brady Bunch. As a result of his unhappiness with the Brady Bunch’s content, Reed constantly argued with the show's creator, Sherwood Schwartz, and he would frequently present Schwartz with multi-page memos detailing why a character's motivation did not make sense, or why it was wrong for one episode to combine elements of different styles, such as farce and satire. One such argument even resulted in his being completely written out of the show's final episode.[2] Reed was happy when the show ended, but he did return for The Brady Bunch Hour and the made-for-TV movies and series that reunited the Brady cast in the years to come.
