Where Is The Cast Today?

May 2024 · 2 minute read

Kevin James might have been the star of "The King of Queens," but his best friend, Deacon, played by Victor Williams, constantly one-upped him in almost every department. The pair got along well, had alot in common, and both worked at IPS. However, Deacon was taller, cooler, more fit, and had a better marriage — well, that last one wasn't totally true, as Deacon and Kelly separated at one point.

Before getting cast in the show, Williams only had a handful of credits to his name. When the show ended in 2007, he continued to garner guest roles on shows like "Fringe," "Blue Bloods," and a six-episode stint on "NYC 22." In 2014, he started a recurring role in "The Affair," in 2017, he was a series 1 regular in "Sneaky Pete." And in 2018, he was a regular in the one and only season of "Happy Together" with Damon Wayans Jr.

In 2015, Williams had a hilarious moment on "The Real Daytime" when he shared that he often gets mistaken for other actors, including Sinbad and Tyler Perry, but Williams wanted to be clear about one thing. He said, "So there's the thing, 'all black men look alike,' but it's not white people who say it. It's black people." He went on to add that he'd love to be in a Tyler Perry movie. On a more serious note, Williams delivered an important message from the New York City Mayor's office in 2020 about the importance of filling out your census.
