Gary Anthony Williams

<p class="p1">Gary Anthony Williams has been improvising since the 1980s, when he was part of an Atlanta troupe called Laughing Matters. You’ve seen Williams on TV shows such as <em>Boston Legal</em>, where he played a crossdressing lawyer, or as Abe on <em>Malcom in the Middle</em>. He also co-starred on <em>The Soul Man</em> on TV Land, and provided voices for animated shows from The Boondocks, American Dad!, Doc McStuffins, and Bless The Harts. He currently co-stars on Netflix’s <em>The Crew</em> with Kevin James as the guy who makes the car go. Williams joined me to talk about his life and career, founding a short film festival during the digital boom, and whether the craziest improv he’s ever seen came while performing on <em>Whose Line Is It Anyway?</em> or while announcing <em>The Eric Andre Show</em>. So let’s get to it!</p>
