Mat Williams (V) is a Texas-born character actor easily recognized by his signature long gray hair and white beard. Born in 1959, he fell in love with acting in high school. Though he stepped away from the industry in 1993 to focus on raising his family, his deep faith eventually guided him back to the screen in 2015.
Since his return, he has built a busy career in westerns, action movies, and faith-based indie films. He is known for throwing himself into physically demanding work, often handling his own stunts, riding horses, and driving stagecoaches on set. Some of his notable film credits include The Oldest Posse, American Outlaws, and Gypsy Moon. Whether playing a rugged veteran or an old-school undertaker, he brings a distinct, memorable presence to every indie project he joins.
