George Brigars Williams
Year Group: 1946
 

Mr. George Williams is one of the finest great actors in Ghana and has featured prominently in Nollywood for many years.

Born 8th January 1929 to Nora Awoonor Williams and Francis Awoonor Williams,  Mr. Williams’ career spans many decades a distinguished and recognizable actor in Ghana.

“Uncle George” as he is famously called by many has acted in many films and roles. He recently stared in a hit movie called “My Sisters Honor”, which he played a role as Angel’s father. One of his most memorable TV series he acted was the “Ultimate Paradise” which is still one of Ghana’s most loved shows. His sincere gratitude to Mr. Hammond Mensah and HM Films Group for giving him the opportunity to act in many of these films.

Uncle George is a product of Adisadel College. He is a member of the class of 1946 which included the late Justice Sarpong, late Justice Hayfron Benjamin, late Justice Coussey and others are also his classmate. Uncle George has very fond memories of the great school on the hill “Adisadel College”. A product of Hamlyn House, Uncle George was a great sportsman a high jumper and talked about the mighty Adisadel spirit. He said the school prepared him for life and enjoyed the solid academic foundation which has helped him especially class like Latin, Greek and Classics especially the entertainment industry. We are very proud of “Uncle George”; he is the few surviving members of his class. As we prepare for our centenary, Uncle George reflects on some of the early years of our great school and the founding fathers.

He wishes Adisadel College the very best.
