CHARLIE WILLIAMS

Charlie Williams is a dynamic young dancer who’s making his Broadway debut in Memphis, the new multi-Tony-nominated musical by Joe DiPietro and David Bryan, and he sure knows how to put his best feet forward. Thanks to his fancy footwork, the Astaire Awards nominated him as part of the best male dance ensemble on the Great White Way.

What’s more, Williams boasts the picture-perfect looks of an Abercrombie & Fitch model, and has been named “Broadway Hottie of the Month” by Gaylifenyc.org. The 5-foot-9 charmer, who is refreshingly open and out as a bisexual man, also was crowned ''Mr. Broadway'' at ''The Broadway Beauty Pageant.'' Plus, he will be getting more exposure as the pinup poster boy for "Broadway Bares' XX: Strip-opoly,'' Broadway Cares' annual burlesque show of sexy dancers on June 20 at the Roseland Ballroom.

Back at Memphis, Williams, 22, is the only cast member who hasn’t missed a show in over 250 performances on Broadway, and the musical’s leading lady, Montego Glover, calls him “the sweetest, most darling boy in our company.” Her Tony-nominated co-star, Chad Kimball, adds, “Charlie is a joker and so funny, but also kind and caring. We call him ‘Charity Charlie’ because he spearheads all our fund-raising for Broadway Cares, the Equality March and the AIDS Walk. He’s such a great guy.”

AfterElton.com recently caught up with Charlie to discuss his role in Memphis, being bisexual and much more.
