One of his latest projects is the show “Happy Together” in which he was a series regular for 13 episodes (2018-’19); the show aired on CBS but was cancelled after a season. Meantime, he appeared in “Bull” (2018-’21), then in “Hunters” and “The Good Lord Bird” (2020). He also had recurring roles in “A Luv Tale – the Series” (2021), and “Justified: City Primeval” in 2023

Personal Life

For his personal life, Williams is married to Zia, but no information has been shared about her spouse,  when they met and married, although it’s known to be over a decade ago; they have a child together.

Victor has always been identified by his height, which has been described by many as towering, at 6ft 6ins (2m) tall. Due to this, he’s been having a lot of problems with his knees as he grows older. He mentioned that the only thing he’d try to do differently if he was given another chance at life is to take care of his knees more.

Despite “The King of Queens” ending a long time ago, he still feels a strong sense of nostalgia towards it, and a strong link to many of the characters he worked with during his tenure there. He also does a lot of stage projects, but doesn’t get a lot of attention for them due to theatre being mostly for a particular audience.
