While the sitcom boasts a rich ensemble, many would no doubt be thrilled with the familiar presence of Williams on the show. Born in 1992 in West Chester County, New York, the 29-year-old has been in the show biz since he was 4.

Williams began his career on the popular children's show "Sesame Street" where he spent half a decade before getting his big break in "Everybody Hates Chris." The actor has carved a remarkable career for himself since then.

During a recent appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Williams briefly spoke about his romantic life, adding that dating had always been a weird subject for him.

Having spent the bulk of his childhood and all his adult years in the limelight, Williams believes there is an imbalance in his life.

The actor admitted that his fame might be a reason why he is still single. But, for now, Williams has his eyes set on achieving more fame with "Abbot Elementary." The show has already gained over 7 million viewers since it aired.
