*Tyler James Williams has just secured his first series since starring in “Everybody Hates Chris.”
The young actor has been made a series regular on NBC’s recently picked up new comedy series “Go On,” according to Deadline.com. Matthew Perry stars as an irreverent-yet-charming sportscaster who tries to move on from loss with the help of members of his mandatory group therapy sessions.
Williams plays Owen, whose brother has been in a coma following a skiing accident.
“Go On” was one of two comedy pilots in which Williams had guest starring roles this season — he also played Martin Lawrence’s son in Lawrence’s CBS pilot.
Williams will next be seen in the Disney Channel movie “Let It Shine.”
I surely hope his character does not have to make those faces and buck his eyes all of hte time like he did in Everybody hates Chris I stopped watching that show after the first episode for that reason.
and the show was not funny to begin with.
Good for him, always good to have a job, and in that arena, the unemployment rate for black actors is more than the national rate of black unemployment!! Hope he succeeds. Loved Everybody hates Chris! Still watch the re-runs.
That is wonderful news !! Always enjoyed “Everybody Hates Chris”. How old is he now ?
