Mike Lookinland (born December 19, 1960) is an American actor. He is best known for his role as youngest brother Bobby Brady on The Brady Bunch from 1969 until 1974.
Lookinland was a TV commercial actor prior to being cast in The Brady Bunch, having done around thirty commercials. The actor has natural sandy colored hair, which had to be dyed brown, so as not to confuse the fair-haired sisters/dark-haired brothers scenario of the Brady step-siblings. During the show's run, he also provided the voice of Oblio in the animated film The Point!. Shortly after the final season of The Brady Bunch wrapped filming, he appeared alongside Jennifer Jones and Paul Newman in the 1974 disaster film The Towering Inferno. He recently worked as a cameraman for the WB network.
Susan Olsen admits to having an infatuation with him during the making of the show. The Olsens had sleepover weekends at her house, and Mike would stay and play with her huge family of animals.
A self proclaimed "Dead Head", during the 1980's Lookinland attended many Grateful Dead concerts.
