‘Dancing with the Stars’ contestant Barry Williams, 69, is thankful for fans rooting ‘for the old man’
Actor Barry Williams is showing no signs of slowing down on the dance floor.
"The Brady Bunch" star has proven he’s a fan favorite on "Dancing with the Stars" week after week and is grateful for the tremendous support from people of all ages.
"I feel very connected to multiple generations. I feel like I grew up with so many people that tell me that they've grown up with me," Williams told Fox News Digital on the "Dancing with the Stars" red carpet.
"I kind of feel like we're all in this together. And I think some of them are out there saying, ‘I'm going for the old man.’"
Williams, 69, and his partner Peta Murgatroyd landed their highest scores yet as they performed a Viennese waltz to "It's A Man's, Man's, Man's World" by James Brown.
