"Una cosa es segura: la carrera de Hudson Williams apenas está comenzando." Le Figaro TV Magazine elogia el ascenso al estrellato de Hudson.

"Hace apenas unos meses era prácticamente un desconocido, pero hoy Hudson Williams, protagonista de Heated Rivalry, es una auténtica estrella."

"El domingo 31 de mayo, la serie arrasó en los Canadian Screen Awards al obtener dieciséis premios, incluido el de Mejor Actor para Hudson Williams. Un reconocimiento ampliamente merecido para el actor de 25 años, quien se preparó minuciosamente para el papel, trabajando especialmente en los rasgos autistas de su personaje."

¿Quién es Hudson Williams?
El joven nació en Kelowna, Canadá. Durante su infancia practicó baloncesto y artes marciales mixtas. Durante un tiempo imaginó un futuro completamente distinto.

Finalmente, su pasión por el cine terminó imponiéndose. Ingresó en una escuela de teatro y posteriormente obtuvo un diploma en Artes Cinematográficas en el Langara College de Vancouver.

Para financiar sus cortometrajes independientes utilizó parte del dinero que ganaba trabajando como camarero en un restaurante de la ciudad, mientras encadenaba pequeños papeles en cine y televisión.

En 2025 dejó definitivamente su empleo en Old Spaghetti Factory cuando fue elegido para interpretar a Shane Hollander en Heated Rivalry.
Una cosa parece segura: la carrera de Hudson Williams apenas está comenzando.

[Heated Rivalry News @heatedrivalnews]

The June issue of Emmy Magazine includes a write up on Heated Rivalry's Television Academy Honors and a full-page ad from Crave congratulating the production on the recognition:

"The macho, hypercompetitive world of ice hockey would seem an unlikely and unwelcoming arena for an athlete to admit he's gay.

In fact, the world of professional sports doesn't offer much space for LGBTQ representation - and that's a problem.

The Television Academy honors Heated Rivalry, a Crave Original on HBO Max - a show that, while laced with some steamy sex scenes, nevertheless reflects the true challenges such athletes face as they strive to be their authentic selves."
