Recent article by TV Magazine praises Hudson Williams’ rise to stardom following the success of his portrayal of Shane Hollander in ‘Heated Rivalry’
“A well-deserved distinction [his Canadian Screen Award win] for the 25-year-old actor, who prepared extensively for the role, particularly by working on the autistic traits of his character.
[…] One thing is certain: Hudson Williams’ success is only just beginning.”

“‘Heated Rivalry’ didn’t create Hudson Williams. It just gave the rest of the world a reason to look. [And] the world that didn’t know his name two years ago can’t seem to stop saying it.” - @Medium
“He was already making things. Writing, directing, acting in short films with friends from Langara College, (…) made purely because he couldn’t not make them. The creativity wasn’t something fame unlocked. It was already fully formed, running quietly in the background of a life that had no particular reason to go anywhere extraordinary.”
“What’s quietly remarkable about Hudson Williams is that he never had to negotiate [his] terms. The industry didn’t get to decide whether to bet on him. By the time Hollywood was paying attention, the audience had already decided — and the audience, it turned out, was enormous.”
“He became a global heartthrob and didn’t reinvent himself to match the moment. In a system that usually asks people to choose: be legible to us, or be legible to them, Hudson Williams appears to have simply declined the choice.”
“What he represents, a new kind of Asian male lead, unbeholden to any single cultural template, arrived without permission, is still unfolding.”
