In addition to acting in more than a dozen countries across Europe, Gee Williams' eclectic career includes fire-eating, bed-of-nail illusions, glass walking, stunts and a 160-foot bungee jump. Williams played the part of Fidel in the long-running stage production The Witches of Eastwick on London's West End. The play garnered five nominations of the prestigious Olivier Award. In 1997, Williams was featured in Gillian Waring's production 10-14, which netted the Winner of the Arts' coveted Turner Prize. Williams has appeared in various film, TV, theater and commercial productions, including a BAFTA-winning TV commercial entitled "The Castaway" by the Bournemouth Film School. Among his cabaret endeavors are Half Monty, The Short and Girlies, Dave Flame and Little Plum, and a solo fire-eating act. He has starred in numerous film and TV productions for the BBC and Channel Four. Among his credits are Operation Good Guys, The Visitors and The New Adventures of Robin Hood. For the charity War Child, which raises funds for children made homeless by war, Williams braved a 160-foot bungee jump. Williams has another, more elaborate jump slated for the future, again for charity. A Guinness Book world record could almost be added to Williams' curriculum vitae: Williams once lay on top of broken glass, with a board of inverted nails set atop him, and a 14-stone (196-pound) man on top of the board. Because the stunt was videotaped without a Guinness official present, Guinness denied Williams the World Record. However, Williams has vowed to repeat the stunt, this time with the official in attendance. Williams, a native of South Essex, England, resides in Portsmouth, England.
