Blair Williamson

Blair Williamson was born with Down syndrome weighing 3 lbs. 6 oz. He had 9 surgeries by the time he was 5 years old and didn't walk until he was nearly 4 years old. By the time he was a healthy 10 year old he was running 400 meters for Special Olympics. His ability to run got him a lead role in a national commercial for Procter and Gamble in 1990. Blair has been running to jobs ever since. He guest starred on "The Guardian," co-starred on "ER" and he has been murdered on "CSI" and had his nose done on "Nip/Tuck." His film credits include a co-star role on USA's "My Antonia," as well as many independent features and shorts. Blair is most proud of his work on the feature film "Unknown," to be released in 2006, where he plays the janitor. The role was physical and demanding. Blair is an original member of the "Born To Act Players" an integrated acting troupe of actors with and without disabilities in Los Angeles California. He attributes much of his success to the support and training he has received from instructor Mary Rings and his private coach David Zimmerman. Blair also Power Lifts with Special Olympics, attends the A.R.C. Adult Day Program where he plays in their chime choir, lives at home with his very cool parents Tommie and Gail Williamson and most importantly is the boy friend of Miss Susie Schallert.
