The famous Jason from “The Waltons,” Jon Walmsley is 67 and has completely changed his life—from his wife to his appearance, which is unrecognizable today.

Jon Walmsley was most famously known for playing the role of Jason Walton on the television series “The Waltons.” He started starring as John-Boy’s younger brother when the series premiered in 1972.

Walmsley met his first wife, Lisa Harrison, while he was lying in bed recovering from mono. A friend of his brought her by, and the two had a spark; he began feeling better, and two months later, Harrison moved in with him.

Before they met, Harrison had been a big fan of Walmsley’s and watched “The Waltons” all the time because she had a crush on him. The couple decided to marry after living together for three years, with Walmsley recalling:

“She made me get down on my knees.”

Ralph Waite, Walmsley’s onscreen father, served as the minister and married the couple in front of the show’s whole cast in Malibu, including Michael Learned, who played Mama Walton, who said they were a match “made in heaven.”

The actress who played Erin Walton, Mary Elizabeth McDonough, burst into tears when she saw the ring on Walmsley’s finger. They connected portraying siblings on the show. Other co-stars arrived at the wedding reception, including John Ritter, who played a minister on “The Waltons.”
