布鲁克·威廉姆斯

Actor Brook Williams appeared in several London stage shows and numerous films. He was the younger son of the famous actor and playwright 埃姆林·威廉姆斯 and the brother of the novelist Alan Williams.

Born in 1938, he was educated at Stowe School. As a child, he was befriended by the actor 理查德·伯顿. In later years, he became Burton's personal assistant, advisor and collaborator.

After serving in the RAF, he worked in repertory theatre and made his West End debut in 1958. In 1960, he appeared with Sir 唐纳德·辛顿 in 泰伦斯·拉提根's ill-fated musical version of his play "French Without Tears, Joie de Vivre". He won critical acclaim for his role in his father's classic play, "The Corn is Green" (1964) and he later toured South Africa in 彼得·谢弗's "Five Finger Exercise".

He appeared with 理查德·伯顿 and 伊丽莎白·泰勒 in 埃及艳后 (1963) and went on to act in more than 100 films in cameo roles. Among his credits were The Sea Wolves (1980), 赦免 (1978), 魔力 (1978), 铁勒马九壮士 (1965) and 理查德·伯顿's last film, Wagner (1981).

When Burton died in 1984, aged 58, Williams read at his funeral in Switzerland. "Burton as a lifelong friend was the concern, for a while the central occupation, of Brook Williams, the actor whose help was unstinted", said broadcaster and writer 梅尔文·布莱格. "It is easy to see why Rich found him to be such fine company and the quality of Brook's friendship speaks very highly for the man who greatly valued male friendships".

Brook Williams's marriage to Liz Holloway was dissolved after ten years.

Son of actor/writer 埃姆林·威廉姆斯.

He was a longtime friend of 理查德·伯顿 and he acted as Burton's personal assistant, adviser and collaborator for many years.

He was christened at Chelsea Old Church.

Younger brother of novelist Alan Williams.
