If you’re a fan of writer, director and actor Tyler Perry, chances are you’ve been catching his show on the Oprah Winfrey Network “If Loving You is Wrong,” which wraps up its second season Tuesday tonight. The drama follows the lives of a group of husbands, wives and friends that live and love in the fictional middle-class town of Maxine. It’s an emotional roller coaster, thanks in part to an affair between neighbors Alex and Randall, which scandalizes the community. Randall is one of those characters you just love to hate, and we spoke with the actor who plays him, Eltony Williams, who is much more likeable. Williams is from Chicago and studied acting at Northern Illinois University. He’s also performed at the legendary Steppenwolf Theatre. He’s also had roles on everything from CSI Miami to Southland to 24. (Screenshot/If Loving You Is Wrong)
