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

18. John Boy now works for the FBI

Well, the actor who played him, Richard Thomas, does on the hit FX show The Americans. Thomas is the only young actor from The Waltons to parlay that experience into an ongoing acting career. He’s continued to work on stage and screen throughout the years, although he’ll forever be known as the iconic John Boy Walton. “It made me a star,” he said of The Waltons. “I am very proud of it” The now 65-year-old actor may have moved on to other roles, but he’ll never truly say “goodnight” to that character.
