Hudson Williams has officially signed with Creative Artists Agency (CAA), a strategic move that signals the rising trajectory of the young Canadian actor. Williams has rapidly gained fame for his role in “Heated Rivalry,” an engaging series on Crave and HBO Max, where he stars as Shane Hollander, a hockey player embroiled in both fierce competition and a secret romance with a rival.
Based on Rachel Reid’s popular novel series, “Heated Rivalry” chronicles the complex relationship between two hockey players who grapple with their animosity on the rink while exploring a deeper connection off it. The show has resonated with audiences, leading to a swift renewal for a second season just three weeks after its premiere.
The on-screen chemistry between Williams and his co-star, Connor Storrie, has captivated fans and sparked a flurry of social media activity celebrating their characters’ romance. This connection has not only made the show a talking point but also turned both actors into internet sensations, with fans expressing a protective attitude towards them and their roles.
A native of Vancouver, BC, Williams enhanced his acting skills in the Film Arts program at Langara College. His previous credits include roles in CBS’s “Tracker” and CBC’s “Allegiance.” Additionally, he has a few film projects awaiting release, including “8,” directed by Inderveer Sodhi, where he plays the character Darius, and “Encore,” directed by Tristan C. Pina, in the role of Drifter.
With Williams now under the representation of Elena Kirschner at RED Management and the success of “Heated Rivalry,” it is clear that the actor’s career is on an upward trajectory, promising more exciting projects and opportunities on the horizon.
