Hudson Williams

Hudson Williams is one of the lead actors in the globally popular Canadian TV series 'Heated Rivalry,' adapted from a novel by Rachel Reid. The show, which follows the careers and secret relationship of two young male hockey stars, has unexpectedly become a worldwide phenomenon despite its relatively low budget and the initial obscurity of its stars. Williams, along with co-star Connor Storrie, went from working as a waiter to being a celebrated actor. He is currently newsworthy due to the show's success and his recent condemnation of racist and homophobic comments directed at the show and its themes. The show's Canadian identity and funding have also been highlighted, adding to its current relevance.
