Life and career

What Williams enjoys most about working is having his own dressing room. "I love when I have my own trailer", he says. At age 6, he co-starred with Ted Danson in CBS's Becker as well as CBS's mid-season replacement, Kate Brasher, starring Mary Stuart Masterson, and Hector Elizondo. Zachary is indeed one great actor. He has since added a few more credits to his resume. Filming more commercials, including Hasbro for Monsters, Inc., and co-starring on WB's teen hit, Roswell as well as UPN's hot show, The Parkers with Mo'Nique and Countess Vaughn, in which he portrayed Junie, a miniature hood-rat in the making. Zachary also stars in the first Nickelodeon original movie of the week Maniac McGee with Kyla Pratt and Michael Angarano. It didn't take him long before landing his first television pilot, Romeo! for Nickelodeon.

His most exciting role to play was that of Lil' Romeo's lil' brother, Gary. Gary was the businessman of the family who also happened to be the D.J. in the families band. He also plays as Lil' Romeo's brother again in the 2007 film Crush on U.

Zachary shot his very first feature film lead in 2002; in Universal Studios' Honey. Zachary has received raved reviews for his portrayal of Raymond, a sad - sweet gifted kid from the hood who forms a special friendship with Honey (Jessica Alba); The Toronto Sun writes, "A charismatic child actor, he steals every second of screen time he gets," The Washington Post writes," Williams is authentic and adorable" and The Hollywood Reporter writes, "The most riveting performance...Williams owns every scene he's in." The film also stars Jessica Alba, Mekhi Phifer and Lonette McKee and is directed by music video famed director, Bille Woodruff.

In 2005, he played a young version of rapper 50 Cent in the music video Hate It or Love It by The Game featuring 50 Cent.

When not in front of the camera, Zachary likes to give back to the community; whether it's bowling for AIDS, playing basketball for autism, or speaking to a group of 4th graders at a local school.
