Michael C. Williams

What fascinates me about Michael C. Williams is how thoroughly one role can define a career. He played a character bearing his own name in The Blair Witch Project, and that found-footage panic basically rewrote the horror playbook. I always think of him as part of a tiny cast that convinced audiences something real was happening. He kept working afterward, with a turn on Law & Order and the 2008 film The Objective, but the Blair Witch shadow looms large. A Bronx native who went through SUNY New Paltz, he strikes me as someone forever linked to one cultural lightning strike.

Michael C. Williams (born July 25, 1973) is an American actor, best known for his role (using his own name) in the movie The Blair Witch Project. Williams also acted in the television program Law & Order during February 2000 as a man whose ex-wife killed their son. In 2008, Williams appeared in the movie The Objective.
