After The Addams Family ended, Jackie Coogan began taking on character roles, including a series of guest roles as heavies or villains.
One such role brought him onto The Brady Bunch for his 2nd & final series appearance during season 3 in 1972. Coogan plays a man who gets into an accident with Carol (Florence Henderson), and shows up in court with a neck brace, claiming whiplash.
