Lookinland, who grew up as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints, began working as an actor at age 7, and by 9 had
appeared in numerous television commercials for such products as toys,
Cheerios cereal, and Band-Aid bandages.Lookinland was a TV-commercial
actor before he was cast in The Brady Bunch, having done around thirty
commercials. He has naturally sandy-colored, wavy hair. Because his
hair color did not match Peter's or Greg's natural dark brown color,
his was dyed dark brown and straightened. Occasionally, the lights on
set were so hot that his dye would run down his face. During the last
two seasons of The Brady Bunch, his natural hair color was allowed to
show.His brother, Todd, appeared in a Brady Bunch episode that served
as the pilot for a spin-off series, Kelly's Kids, about a husband and
wife who adopt three boys, one white, one black, and one Asian. The
