Biografia

Frequently walked off the set of A Família Brady (1969), due to arguments with series creator/producer Sherwood Schwartz. In addition, he sent voluminous memos to Schwartz, detailing his unhappiness with the writing and directing on the show. Schwartz put up with this only because Reed's instincts usually turned out to be right. (Reed would eventually direct a handful of episodes himself.)

He kept his illness from the rest of the A Família Brady (1969) cast for years. He finally contacted Florence Henderson days before his death and requested that she inform the rest of the cast of his condition.

He grew up with his parents on a farm where they raised cattle and turkeys.

Only cast member of A Família Brady (1969) to miss two episodes. The first was Goodbye, Alice, Hello (1972). He was written out of the second one, The Hair-Brained Scheme (1974), because he strongly disapproved of the script, which had Greg's hair turning orange because of a cheap hair tonic.

In one of his last interviews, he revealed that he actually detested A Família Brady (1969) and that his role as Mike Brady embarrassed him.

[on his professional name, which was chosen for him] I can't stand the name "Reed". It always reminds me of vanilla or tapioca pudding.

A Família Brady (1969) will remain popular until it's an anachronism. Then it'll fall into Our Gang status.

I was young, brash, so-called classically trained and well educated.

Every television actor says the same thing when you ask him why he's doing theater: to work up the juices. But the basic reason is the script. In television, the scripts aren't very good.

[In 1986] You have to have a fairly healthy sense of humor. You can't just go out on stage and be funny. You have to work at it.
