Stephen Williams

Stephen Williams began his career as a television director in his native Canada before writing and directing his first movie, "Soul Survivor" (1995). This intensely personal indie effort starred his brother Peter Williams and took place in Toronto's Jamaican community, in which the brothers were raised. In 1996, Williams began working on the syndicated Canadian science fiction series "PSI Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal" (1996-2000), a scripted series presented as genuine footage of paranormal investigators. This was just the beginning of Williams' affinity for mystery and the supernatural: his first work on an American series came when he directed episodes of James Cameron's post-apocalyptic cult favorite "Dark Angel" (Fox 2000-02). After several years working as a journeyman direction in Los Angeles, Williams got his big break when he began working on the supernatural favorite "Lost" (ABC 2004-10). Along with directing 26 episodes of the series, he rose through the producing ranks to become co-executive producer in 2008. Williams' creative relationship with "Lost" co-creator J.J. Abrams continued when he directed and co-produced Abrams' short-lived action spy series "Undercovers" (NBC 2010). Williams continued his preference for action-packed thrillers with a focus on fantasy and mystery by directing episodes of series such as "Touch" (Fox 2012-13), "Person of Interest" (CBS 2011-16) and the short-lived "Zero Hour" (ABC 2013), on which he also served as co-executive producer.
