During the final season of The Brady Bunch, Sherwood Schwartz and company attempted to freshen up the series by introducing a new character.
Actor Robbie Rist was cast to play Cousin Oliver. While he only ever appeared in six episodes, Rist's brief stint on the series was pretty memorable. Unfortunately, memorable in this case wasn't a very positive thing. Cousin Oliver wasn't seen as a very welcome addition to the cast. In fact, fans of the series almost universally loathed the character as soon as he made his appearance – and while Cousin Oliver wasn't solely responsible for the show's cancellation, he certainly didn't help.
After The Brady Bunch wrapped up in 1974, Rist kept his acting career going appearing in live-action shows like NBC's Big John, Little John, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and Whiz Kids. In fact, he's still active today, most recently appearing in the 2013 campy horror film Sharknado as Robbie the Bus Driver.
While he has yet to retire from acting, the 58-year-old has found the most successful Post-Brady voice acting in cartoons, anime dubs, and video games. Some of his most significant credits in this realm include voice roles in offerings like Batman: The Animated Series, Sonic Boom, Naruto, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Final Fantasy X.
Rist is also a gifted and talented multi-instrumentalist and producer. We'll let you know what some of his most significant musical contributions are towards the end of this video, so don't go anywhere.
