Mike Lookinland spent most of his post-Brady career in showbiz working behind the scenes as an electrical and camera technician. Like many former child stars, he struggled to find his career footing after his biggest role. He currently owns Just Add Water Custom Concrete in Salt Lake City, and he got to show off his work in 2019’s A Very Brady Renovation on HGTV. In 2022, he joined costars Barry Williams and Christopher Knight as mummies on FOX’s The Masked Singer.

Susan Olsen’s post-Brady acting career was sparse, and she took up art, graphic design, talk radio and animal welfare advocacy in the decades that followed. Olsen coauthored the 2009 coffee table book Love to Love You Bradys: The Bizarre Story of The Brady Bunch Variety Hour. She cohosted the Ober and Olsen Los Angeles talk radio show in the 1990s, and her Two Chicks Talkin’ Politics radio show gig ended in controversy in 2016 after homophobic statements and hate speech were revealed.
