Before causing audiences to shudder in fear as a sadistic guard on Prison Break, this imposing character actor made his name doing Shakespeare plays and musicals. A classically trained performer and singer who appeared both regionally and on Broadway, Williams began landing TV guest spots (usually as bad guys) in the late '90s and upped his profile with a recurring role as a curmudgeonly priest on Bernie Mac. Off screen, he's an affable, fiddle-playing family man, the antithesis of his seminal character.Wade Williams Fast Facts:
