In 1995 Williams played the lead role of Shaun Caine in the Jonathan Harvey play Rupert Street Lonely Hearts Club. The play premiered at London's Donmar Warehouse before later transferring to The Criterion Theatre, Piccadilly. In 1996 he was given the role of Joe Glover in the powerful television drama Hillsborough. Written by the legendary Jimmy McGovern, Hillsborough was based on the football stadium disaster of 1989 in which 96 Liverpool Football Club supporters unlawfully died and directed by the BAFTA and Emmy winning Charles McDougall. It went on to win dozens of awards around the world, including the 1997 Best Single drama BAFTA award. In 1999 he played the role of 'Buddy' alongside Lisa Stansfield, Rita Tushingham and Alexei Sayle in the musical "comedy" Swing as well as the part of 'Patrick Callaghan' a one legged heroin addicted informer in the gritty crime "drama" Liverpool One.

The first of which "The Moab Story" was an official selection for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

The film respectfully examined the loving relationship between two victims of sexual abuse and went on to win Best Film at the 2009 London Independent Film Awards.
