has experienced several different kinds of fandom since childhood, starting with films like “Unaccompanied Minors,” and then his starring role in “Everybody Hates Chris,” and even a stint on “The Walking Dead.

We talked to Williams in May, after the WGA writers strike had already gotten underway. Williams remembers the 2007-2008 strike — he was shooting “Everybody Hates Chris” as a kid at the time — and “how scary it felt for everybody. Because that one went on for a while. And there were shows that, when we came back to the Paramount lot, didn’t come back with us. I didn’t even realize that was a thing or a possibility.

“We always have a really good energy at these things,” Williams says. “I think partially, because we’re in the middle of filming our season. So we’re exhausted. And a little delirious. We’re just trying to have as much fun with it as possible. There’s something really great about assuming you’re not going to win a category because you have a good time. And you’re like, ‘I’m just happy to be here.’ The people who were in my category, there was no way in hell I had a shot.
