He Received a Full Scholarship to Juilliard
After Williams dropped out of Claremont Men’s College, he made his way to the College of Marin to study theater. Three years later, he was offered a full scholarship to the prestigious Juilliard School in New York City. Williams was one of just 20 freshmen to enter the program in 1973 alongside now-famous Christopher Reeve and Mandy Patinkin. He left the program in 1976 at the advice of his professors.
