If the suit fits, wear it.

On Tuesday night's episode of Dancing With the Stars, Barry Williams had a small Easter egg for Brady Bunch fans when he took to the dance floor to deliver a Paso Doble to "Born to be Wild" by Steppenwolf alongside pro partner Peta Murgatroyd.

Matching the style of the Spanish dance, Williams danced in a matador costume, as Murgatroyd played the role of bull, cape, and lover all at once. But this isn't the first time Williams has suited up as a bullfighter.

In the first episode of season 5 of The Brady Bunch, "Adios, Johnny Bravo," Williams' Greg Brady was approached about becoming a rock star under the stage name Johnny Bravo. He later learns that he was only selected because he fit in the suit they had already chosen for Johnny Bravo to wear — and that suit was itself a matador ensemble.

"You'll certainly be seeing [an alter ego] for the Pasa Doble," Williams previously told EW of the persona he assumes when he steps into the ballroom. "There was an episode [of The Brady Bunch] that involved fitting a suit and that was actually a matador coat. And I will be playing a matador in this dance."

For "Most Memorable Year," Williams chose 1968, the year before his life changed. "I was riding motorcycles and always pushing the limit," he said on the show. "It was a most incredible time; i felt young and wild. My life changed immediately simply because of being on a full-time show. I was traveling around the country. I was being groomed as a teen idol."

Though Greg didn't make it as a rock star, the Paso Doble was a high point for Williams and Murgatroyd. The duo received praise from all three judges, including an enthusiastic "No mistakes!" from Bruno Tonioli. They nabbed 24 points, their first eights of the season and their highest combined score from the three core judges.

Williams, who follows in the footsteps of fellow Brady actors Maureen McCormick and Florence Henderson on DWTS, has been a consistent fan favorite.

"This feels singular for me," he told EW of the love he's getting from fans. "It's very heartwarming, and it's such a great time of life to have this type of an opportunity. Imagine at 69, I'm competing with 17-year-olds on this amazing show, this 'competition' and a live band and singers and talented, world-class dancers and learning a new song every week and actually moving forward. I'm having the time of my life."

Dancing With the Stars airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and Disney+ and streams the following day on Hulu.
