Jack Richard Collins (August 24, 1918[1] – January 31, 2005) was an American film, stage and television actor. He played Mike Brady's boss, Mr. Phillips, in the television series The Brady Bunch, and Peter Christopher's boss, baby-food manufacturer Max Brahms, in the short-lived sitcom television series Occasional Wife.[2] For filmgoers, Collins is easily best remembered for having played San Francisco Mayor Robert Ramsay in Irwin Allen's all-star-cast, box-office-smash, disaster-movie epic The Towering Inferno (1974).

Collins made numerous guest appearances in many television shows. He also appeared in several TV commercials. His acting appearances included The Phil Silvers Show, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Mission Impossible, The Addams Family, My Favorite Martian, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, The Lucy Show, Petticoat Junction, The Odd Couple, Adam-12, Mod Squad, Ironside, The Partridge Family, The Waltons, Chico and the Man, Cannon, The Rockford Files, CHiPs, Matt Houston and Dallas.

Collins died on January 31, 2005, in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 86.[1]
