Marie Claire UK April 2003. Lee William's career has been nothing if not varied. He's played everything from a snarling werewolf (in the small budget horror The Wolves Of Kromer with Boy George bizarrely) to a former Beatle (he was Stuart Sutcliffe in a TV version of John Lennon's life story).Then there was Me Without, You Billy Elliott, and this year he's lined up for the next series of the period smash The Forsyte Saga and BBC's new drama The Debt. "Acting is just something I stumbled into." admits Williams. "A friend recommended me for a job and I got it. It really was just about being in the right place at the right time." Before that the 28-year-old was studying fashion an Central St Martin's tried modelling-he was the face of French Connection on TV-and worked with some of the catwalk's biggest names like Vivienne Westwood. "Fashion has always been an important part of my life and I might end up back there. Who knows? I like to keep my options open. That makes life more interesting." |
