Genelle Williams
Genelle Williams (born February 18, 1984) is an African Canadian actress who is known for her role in the hit television show, "Radio Free Roscoe". She was born in Toronto, Ontario.
Williams became famous in Canada when she joined Radio Free Roscoe (RFR for short), which was a hit there from 2002 to 2004, in 2003, playing Kim Carlisle, a radio show host for a competitor station, but who fell in love with one of Radio Free Roscoe's hosts.
Williams had been preparing to become an actress since she was little, and she studied acting with Dean Armstrong, who played one of the principal characters in Showtime's television series, "Queer as Folk".
After joining Radio Free Roscoe, she began to get characters in many other television shows, such as "Wild Card" (in August of 2003), and Eloise at the Plaza, where she played "Ruth".
In 2004, she kept participating in other television shows, such as "This is Wonderland" (as "Kiana Lewis", in March of that year), "My Baby's Daddy", where she went uncredited as a receptionist, and "The Lazarus Child", where she played "Lizzie". Late in 2004, Nickelodeon's teenager geared channel, The N, began showing RFR as well as "Degrassi: New Generation", and Williams began to gain celebrity in the United States, at least among the audience that The N targets.
2005 was a year of new achievements for Williams, as, apart from her fame broadening across the United States, she was able to participate in her first film, the made-for-tv feature "More Sex & the Single Mom", as "Megan". She also acted in Sue Thomas: F.B. Eye, playing "Candy" in one episode, and in "Kevin Hill", as "Alyssa".
