Answer: Prison Break

The series stars Wentworth Millers as Michael Scofield and Dominic Purcell as Lincoln Burrows. Michael purposely goes to prison to help his brother escape. Eight prisoners escape and it is FBI Agent Mahone's job to find them. Alex has problems and secrets of his own that complicate things.
5. In what television series from 2005 did William play the role of Sheriff Tom Underlay?

Answer: Invasion

Tom played a sheriff in a small Florida town that had just survived a hurricane - or did they? Water creatures started taking over peoples' bodies and Tom had to figure out how to stop it - think "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". William won a Saturn Award for his role. The award is given out for excellence in science fiction, horror, or fantasy.
6. Adam Sandler and William were on opposite sides of the field and the cells in which Burt Reynolds remake?

Answer: The Longest Yard

This movie was made in 2005. William's role was Captain Knaur, a prison guard and captain of the prison football team. Adam was a professional football player who was paid to lose a game. After a night of drinking and a car chase, Adam got arrested.

The warden wanted a football game between the prisoners and the guards. Captain Knaur's view on things changed during the course of the movie.

Answer: Armageddon

William played Col. Willie Sharp, a pilot for NASA who, with Harry Stamper (Bruce Willis), a deep-sea oil driller, had to save the world from an asteroid that was heading for Earth. Colonel Sharp flew them to this asteroid with the hope of drilling into it so it would break off into pieces and miss the Earth. Liv Tyler played Harry's daughter, Grace, and Ben Affleck starred as Grace's boyfriend and part of Harry's crew.
8. What Academy Award film for best picture did William star in, alongside Sandra Bullock and Brendan Fraser?

Answer: Crash

This film from 2004 centered around 2 days in the life of a cast of characters. The characters were shown as being prejudiced or having to deal with prejudice thrown in their direction. William's role, as a racist named Flanagan who worked for the district attorney, was hard for me to watch. He played the scenes to perfection. The movie won best picture in 2008.

Answer: Mom

"Mom" was a show about Cristy, played by Anna Faris and her mom Bonnie, played by Allson Janey who were recovering addicts. William played Adam, a man in a wheelchair due to his job as a stunt man.

Answer: As the World Turns

William starred as Josh Snyder/Rod Landry. He arrived in the town of Oakdale claiming to be Rod Laundry to hide the truth that he was really Josh Snyder, a rapist.
