Taylor Polidore Williams has all the time been a shape changer, without effort slipping into complex roles that require each depth and nuances. From playing an exciting student to navigating a turbulent world, Williams mastered the art of transformation. But together with her latest role as Kimmie In Tyler Perry, he’s redefined as a force on the screen.

Script? It caught her from the primary page. “I remember how I read it at one time, like watching the program in one day,” he says. “It felt raw, dark and completely different than everything I saw before in the world of Tyler Perry.” It is undeniably rough, filled with emotional complexity and the entire drama that keeps you at night. In his heart, Kimmie is a dancer – nevertheless it’s just an surface. “Kimmie is more than just her work. She is a sister, surviving, a woman fighting to regain her power in a world who is trying to pick her up.”

Kimmie’s journey in a series, coping with heavy reality of trade and exploitation, is something that Williams has deeply related to them. By acting as a court appointed special lawyer Foster Youth, he just isn’t foreign to darker corners of society. But entering the shoes Kimmie forced the change in her perspective. “I am naturally trusting and optimistic, but Kimmie? He is skeptical, always looking over the shoulder,” says Williams. “Playing in her made me more discerned about people in my life.”

With an explosive debut – almost nine million viewers in the primary week – it is evident that the audience wants stories that don’t stop. And Williams attributes the success of the series to Perry’s approach to telling stories. However, he also knows that it’s greater than a drama. “This is one of those programs in which you talk about it later. Each episode seems to be an event,” he says clearly energized by the influence of the series.

But this is barely her arrival. Over the years, he walks his crafts in supporting part, often next to one of the vital experienced talents in Hollywood. Since his work with Meagan Good and Debbi Morgan in – a summer hit, who spent weeks on the Amazon charts – for its key role, Williams learned the ropes from the perfect. “Cooperation with these women taught me how black actresses should be treated in this industry. We deserve the best treatment and the best salary,” he says. And, let’s not forget, Williams can be a voice artist, borrowing her talents Nickelodeon, Disney and Peacock.

She was her moment to shine. And although Kimmie may be equally fierce and sensitive, Williams herself is nothing small. “I felt like a dream, I hope I would never wake up,” he admits, remembering that she saw her name for the primary time at the highest of the connection sheet. It is a recognition of all years of exertions, determination and beliefs that led her here.

But the frenzy doesn’t end with just one role. Williams just isn’t a limited type to at least one box. He explains his desires for the long run: “I want to make a comedy. I want to perform the action. I want to play someone who is not even human,” he says. There is hunger in her voice, knowing that there’s quite a bit more, which she is able to, and that Hollywood is slowly – but of course – she is approaching it.

Of course, she may be very aware of the challenges that black women in the industry are facing. Quoting certainly one of her favorite directors, Gina Prince-Holiday, Williams reflects: “Black women have more difficult in this business.” He fights for refined, complex roles – story, which aren’t only pain or fight, but for triumph and transformation. “More movies,” he says. “We must perceive black women as spies, as warriors, as heroes and villains.”

When dust settles from the primary season, emotions only grow. Part 2 was much more explosive, and Kimmie turned the tables of her opponents in an unforgettable show of strength, endurance and all crazy. “He finally stands with him,” says Williams, he clearly invested in the evolution of Kimmie. “The rate is higher and is ready to take control of its destiny.”

However, for Williams, this implies the start of a brand new heritage. The heritage in which black women are in the middle of powerful stories that undermine the establishment and re -define what it means to be a number one woman in Hollywood. And when he looks to the long run, one thing is evident: it just begins.
