Comedian, rapper, and actor Katt Williams was born Micah Sierra Williams on September 2, 1971 in Cincinnati, Ohio and grew up in Dayton. He became emancipated as a young teenager and relocated to Florida. Williams worked as a door-to-door salesman and began performing stand-up comedy. He’s appeared in such TV shows as ““NYPD Blue,” “The Tracy Morgan Show,” “My Wife and Kids,” and “Wild n’ Out’” and the films “Friday After Next” and “Father Figures.”

He was arrested multiple times between 2014-2016 for allegedly assaulting a woman, fighting with a teenager, punching a store clerk, throwing a salt shaker at a Waffle House employee, and threatening his bodyguard. He pled no contest, received three years probation, and was ordered to attend 54 weeks of anger management for felony robbery charges after being accused of stealing a paparazzo’s camera with Suge Knight. Another felony assault with a deadly weapon case was dismissed in which he was accused of drawing a gun on a man who was attempting to film him after a performance in West Hollywood.
