Robbie Rist (Cousin Oliver)

He started acting when was young, and one of his earliest roles was portraying Cousin Oliver on The Brady Bunch.

Rist was around 9 years old when he became part of The Brady Bunch cast.
Rist After The Show
Cousin Oliver was an endearing – or irritating, as some would say – character. The actor found his niche in entertainment by doing voiceovers and producing music. He and director Anthony C. Ferrante did the music for the Sharknado film series, and Rist also voiced many characters in video games and English versions of anime. Most recently, Rist appeared in the TV movie Olde News and on the TV show Buried in the Backyard.
