Born and raised around New York City, Todd Williams began the pursuit of his acting career straight out of high school. Having been persuaded to have a backup plan, he applied himself to the course study of Music Business at New York University but left NYU only after a semester to focus on his acting career goals full time. After booking several national commercial and voice over spots, he made his film debut starring opposite Kerry Washington in the critically acclaimed feature Lift (2001). Multiple notable TV appearances followed on shows such as Law & Order: SVU (2001) and The Twilight Zone (2003). While recurring on Third Watch (2004), Todd booked a role starring beside Michael Madsen in the highly praised ESPN original series Tilt (2005). Not wanting to stop his momentum, he moved to Los Angeles and hit the ground running, securing numerous guest leads on shows such a CSI: Miami (2006) and the CW’s, The Game (2006). Very soon after, he landed another lead role starring with Anthony Anderson in the independent film, The Last Stand (2006) and clinched another guest lead on CSI (2007). Within the same year he procured another starring role. This time on the USA Network hit series In Plain Sight (2008) where he spent two seasons.
