My Take
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.
