You Won’t Believe What Went on Behind the Scenes of the Squeaky Clean Waltons

17. John married Jason

Ralph Waite, the actor who played John Walton, was an ordained minister. So when Jon Walmsley, who played second oldest son Jason, was ready to wed in real life, he had his TV dad marry him and his bride, Lisa Harrison, in front of the entire cast. “I didn’t know whether I was the father, the minister or a friend,” says Waite. Lisa played Jason Walton’s wife Toni on the show and its reunion movies, but the couple later divorced. Jon has since had an active career in music, much like his character Jason, who was always playing tunes at the Dew Drop Inn.
