Katt Williams |
We sat down with the troubled comedian to talk about his role in this new film, bouncing back after several stumbles, but there's more.
As one of the funniest stand-up comics of his generation, it is easy to forget that Katt Williams is no stranger to being in films. His filmography includes classics like Friday After Next, Norbit, The Perfect Holiday, First Sunday and Scary Movie 5.

Katt also reveals he has a new comedy special dropping in January on Netflix that he’s trying to prove that they spent their money on the wrong comedians. Katt’s hair is for an upcoming film he’s working on.
Why does this matter?
The energy of the film shifts the second Williams pops up – and then Father Figures becomes a madcap free-for-all, complete with Williams tied up in the back-seat & ultimately a train crash. Williams’ hitchhiker isn’t even give a name, yet still the comedian imbues the character with a surprising level of sweetness, proof just how much Williams can do with any amount of material.

“The true unknown
dynamic of The Illuminati is that, for those of us who hunt the Illuminati and
do battle against them, we know they’re real," Williams said. "The
interesting part is we’re all trying to be the Illuminati at the end of the
day, because those are the enlightened ones. It doesn’t really matter that this
group is enlightened under fictitious circumstances; it is what it is
nonetheless. It’s about having the information. And as long as they have
information that we don’t have, then they will continue to be as real as they
have always been. But they are not in any way as cocky as they’d like to be.
Because we out them out any chance we get. They hate publicity. They hate to
hear their name.”
His co-star was a little less direct when asked about the existence
of the secret society.
But here’s the catch…
“We’re forbidden to
answer that,” Ed Helms said with a chuckle. “We’ll be killed if we answer
that.”

Williams says he enjoys films — but that they’re very
different from stand-up.
That's not all...
“When I do my stand-up, I’m always ‘on’ whenever I’m on stage and it’s all in my control,” he said. “Acting isn’t like that. There is a lot of standing around between takes. You have to turn your dial to zero sometimes — and then be ready to turn it back up again.”
Williams states that although his character doesn’t get a lot
of screen time, he remains proud of the role.

“He is a character that is treated with respect and that
doesn’t allow himself to be exploited”.
Father Figures was released in theaters On December 22.
