Allan Melvin (February 18, 1922–January 18, 2008) was an American character actor who appeared in several television shows and may be best remembered for his role of "Sam Franklin", Alice's boyfriend on The Brady Bunch.

Born in Kansas City, Missouri, Melvin's family soon moved to New York City after his birth. Melvin eventually attended Columbia University. After graduation he served with the Navy and married his present wife, Amalia, in 1943.
Allan Melvin, a character actor best known for playing Sam the Butcher on “The Brady Bunch,” has died. He was 84.

Melvin died of cancer Thursday at his home in the Brentwood section of Los Angeles, said Amalia Melvin, his wife of 64 years.

The jowly, jovial Melvin spent decades playing a series of sidekicks, second bananas and lovable lugs, including Archie Bunker’s friend Barney Hefner on “All in the Family,” and Sgt. Bilko’s right-hand man Cpl. Henshaw on the “Phil Silvers Show.”

His other credits include several guest appearances on “The Andy Griffith Show,” “Gomer Pyle: USMC,” and “The Dick Van Dyke Show.”

In addition to Amalia, Melvin is survived by daughter Jennifer Hanson and grandson Jon Hanson Jr. A daughter, Mya, died in 1970.
