Michael Kenneth Williams Hits 'The Road 'In New Movie

Actor Michael Kenneth Williams stopped by the studio to talk about his role as The Thief in the new film The Road.

"A father (Viggo Mortensen) and his son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind and water. It is cold enough to crack stones, and, when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the warmer south, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing: just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless cannibalistic bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a rusting shopping cart of scavenged food--and each other," says IMDB of the movie.

Fans of Williams will remember him as Omar Little on the hit TV show The Wire. This Brooklyn boy grew up in Flatbush and has also starred in The Philanthropist, Miracle at St. Anna, The Killing Point, Six Degrees and Alias.

The Road is currently playing in theaters. For more information, visit theroad-movie.com.
