B: in Alberta
Usually remembered for his role as Kelly Ashoona on the series Degrassi, Evan Williams’ first interest was music, singing in a choir and musical theatre productions with his local church. He began to think seriously about an acting career after being cast in the title role in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in high school. He then joined the Summerstock Conservatory, where he performed a number of musicals in downtown Calgary, and was the recipient of the Phyllis Pope Award for Best Performance for his portrayal of the eccentric Rabbi in Fiddler On the Roof in 2004. A graduate of Ryerson’s Theatre School, Williams’ first on-camera role was as Shane in Save the Last Dance II, where he found being on a bustling movie set exactly what he had been looking for. |
