William started his career as a soap heartthrob on “As the World Turns” (1956). His early film appearances included a role in the little seen “Ramona” (1990) and a bit part as a police officer in Malcolm X. After roles in Malcolm X (1992), Quiz Show (1994) and Strange Days (1995), his name got bigger. In 1995, he was featured in “Virtuosity”, “Strange Days”. After doing a performance of a lifetime as “Kent” in Contact (1997), he is now a name for the big audience.
