Also honored for his work on the small screen, Williams earned his third Golden Globe nomination for his performance as Stanley Kowalski in the television presentation of "A Streetcar Named Desire." In 1996, he received an Emmy Award nomination for his portrayal of Michael Ovitz in the HBO movie "The Late Shift," about the late night television talk show wars.

In addition, Williams has received praise for his work in a number of television miniseries, including the title roles in "Max and Helen," "J.
