<p>Christopher Knight is known as an actor and a businessperson.  His most famous role on television was his starring spot on the famous sitcom, The Brady Brunch.</p>

<h2>Background</h2>

<p>Christopher born on November 7, 1957 in New York City, New York. His father Edward Knight, was an actor. He is the second of four children which included three boys and one girl. His father was a struggling actor who moved the family to Los Angeles when Knight was only 3 years old. With his father struggling to make ends meet as an actor, Christopher Knight began auditioning for parts at the age of 7 in hopes of earning money to save for college.</p>

<h2>Early Acting Career</h2>

<p>He became successful as a child actor almost immediately, landing spots on commercials for Tide, Toyota and Cheerios. His early talent enabled him to get guest spots on the popular television shows like Gunsmoke and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannix">Mannix</a>.  His appearance on the first season of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannix">Mannix</a> was in 1967 episode called "Coffin for a Clown".</p>

<p>However, Knight saw in his father the risks of pursuing an acting career. He recalls, "My dad was an actor, and a struggling one at that. I never really wanted to have the downside of that life, and so I had a different view of dreams, being that they are not always necessarily positive."</p>

<h2>Reaching The Peak of His Career</h2>

<p>Even to this day, Christopher Knight gets recognized for playing Peter Brady on the famous 1970s series, The Brady Bunch, He has since gone on to become a successful businessman and enjoyed a semi-resurgence in the public eye with television appearances in the 2000s.</p>

<p>In 1969 at the age of 11, Knight landed a role on the ABC show The Brady Bunch. The show revolved around a large blended family brought together by the marriage of Mike Brady, who had three sons, and Carol Brady, who had three daughters. Knight played the middle son, Peter Brady. While the show never received especially high ratings during its 1969-1974 first run, its reruns found a huge audience in syndication and The Brady Bunch has since become one of the most enduring and popular shows in the history of American television.</p>

<p>"The Brady's weren't cool," Knight says. "If there was any cool factor to them, they would have disappeared after they left the airwaves. It's because what we were doing was timeless, but at that period of time it wasn't appreciated as much. It's appreciated more so now and all the more as it continues to live and breathe in perpetuity."</p>

<h2>Life After The Bunch</h2>

<p>After the end of his Brady Bunch appearances, Knight's acting career consisted mostly of making guest appearances on other television shows (Happy Days, The Love Boat), and occasional film roles (Just You and Me, Kid, Curfew, Good Girls Don't, The Doom Generation, and Nowhere). He reunited with his former Brady costars in the holiday TV movie A Very Brady Christmas (1988).</p>
