Main Cast of A Very Brady Sequel
Shelley Long
Carol Brady
Shelley Long stepped into the iconic role of Carol Brady in "A Very Brady Sequel" with a playful and affectionate nod to the character's storied past. Originally portrayed by Florence Henderson in the 1970s television series, Long had the challenging task of reinterpreting the matriarch of the blended Brady family for a new generation while maintaining the essence that made Carol a beloved figure. Her performance was a delicate balance of homage and freshness, capturing Carol's warmth, optimism, and nurturing spirit, which were essential to the character's enduring appeal. Long managed to infuse the role with her own comedic timing and a knowing wink to the audience, acknowledging the absurdity of the Brady's exaggeratedly perfect world while staying true to Carol's sincere and caring nature.

Gary Cole
Mike Brady
Gary Cole's portrayal of Mike Brady in "A Very Brady Sequel" is a delightful homage to the iconic character originally played by Robert Reed in the 1970s television series "The Brady Bunch." Cole steps into the role with an earnest charm, capturing the essence of the wholesome and endearingly square architect. His performance is both a tribute and a gentle parody, as he navigates the film's comedic and often absurd plot twists with a straight-faced sincerity that perfectly encapsulates the character's well-intentioned naivety. Cole's Mike Brady is the steady, loving patriarch amidst the Brady family chaos, delivering lines with a deadpan delivery that juxtaposes the outrageousness of the situations around him. His interactions with his TV wife, Carol Brady, played by Shelley Long, are particularly charming, as they recreate the classic television chemistry while also embracing the heightened reality of the film's comedic tone. Cole's ability to embody the spirit of Mike Brady while also making the role his own is a testament to his comedic talent and understanding of the character's place in American pop culture.
Christopher Daniel Barnes
Greg Brady
Christopher Daniel Barnes stepped into the iconic role of Greg Brady in "A Very Brady Sequel" with a charisma that both honored the original portrayal by Barry Williams and infused the character with a fresh, comedic energy suited for the film's playful tone. Barnes effectively captured the essence of the eldest Brady son, maintaining the character's well-intentioned and slightly awkward demeanor, while also embracing the exaggerated humor inherent in the Brady universe. His performance was a delicate balance of nostalgia and parody, as he navigated through the movie's absurd plot twists with a deadpan delivery and impeccable timing, particularly in scenes where Greg's voice unexpectedly deepens into a sultry baritone.

Christine Taylor
Marcia Brady
Christine Taylor seamlessly stepped into the iconic role of Marcia Brady in "A Very Brady Sequel," capturing the essence of the character that America had come to love during the 1970s. Her portrayal was a blend of nostalgia and freshness, as she brought a matured yet still endearingly naive sensibility to the eldest Brady daughter. Taylor's performance was marked by her ability to deliver the wholesome, straight-laced dialogue with a wink of self-awareness, allowing the adult Marcia to be both a caricature of the original and a fully realized character in her own right. Her comedic timing was impeccable, especially in her interactions with her on-screen brother Greg, played by Christopher Daniel Barnes, as they navigated the pitfalls of young adulthood and the complexities of their sibling relationship. Taylor's Marcia was the anchor of the Brady family's dynamics, embodying the character's iconic status while also poking gentle fun at the archetype of the perfect, teenage dream girl.
