“Our job is to go out there every night, no matter what…I’m not really worrying about it. I can’t sweat that,” WilliamsThe actor added that actors “do need to keep advocating” for themselves, and that it’s been “wonderful” to see his community “push back” and be clear about the kinds of behavior it won’t stand for. “Consent is important, I thought,” he said. “So, let’s keep that in mind universally.
Williams added that while “theater is a sacred space,” not everyone understands that. “Everybody doesn’t necessarily respect or regard that in a way that maybe they should, or we’d like,” he continued.'ER' Star Anthony Edwards Joins Tony-Nominated 'Girl From The North Country' On Broadway In the play by Richard Greenberg, Williams plays Darren Lemming, a pro baseball player who struggles after coming out as gay.
