At one point during his legendary TV career, Hal Williams co-starred with Regina King in her Hollywood breakthrough role. Before King starred in HBO's "Watchmen" and appeared in other acclaimed shows like "The Leftovers" and "American Crime," she appeared on the sitcom "227" alongside Williams. The show featured King as Brenda Jenkins, marking her first recurring TV role. A central character and the teenage daughter of Williams' Lester Jenkins and Marla Gibbs' Mary Jenkins, King's Brenda took part in almost every episode of "227." Her most recent lead TV role as Angela Abar, aka Sister Night, in "Watchmen" won her the Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a limited series or movie in 2020.
