TYLER JAMES WILLIAMS
AFTER FIVE SEASONS PLAYING GREGORY ON ABC’S ABBOTT ELEMENTARY, Tyler James Williams is adding a new title: director. “I have been wanting to get my hands dirty in another aspect of the process.” With his acting background, “My brain thinks in act breaks and pacing, and I guess finding the funniest way to see and show something.” This evolution is just another notch in an already impressive career, with his breakout lead role as a child actor on Everybody Hates Chris and in the film Dear White People. “There’s definitely a consistent thread...a guy who's trying to find his way ultimately, who may be a bit more awkward and outside of the norm than most people, but who's sincerely trying.” With multiple Emmy nominations for Abbott, Williams said of his red-carpet opportunities: “We may have a little bit more hill to climb. So with that being the case, we're gonna have fun with it.” —H. Alan Scott
