Born Richard Treat Williams on the 1st December 1951 in Rowayton, Connecticut USA, he is the son of Richard Norman Williams and his wife Marian; he grew up in his hometown and went to Kent School. After matriculation Treat enrolled at Franklin and Marshall College, and graduated with a degree in arts in 1973.
Career Beginnings
Even before he finished college, Treat had launched his acting career; in 1975 he secured a minor role in the film “Deadly Hero”, sharing the screen with James Earl Jones and Don Murray. After this, he made an appearance in the Academy Award-nominated comedy film “The Ritz”, starring Jack Weston, Rita Moreno and Jerry Stiller, and throughout the rest of the ’70s, Treat appeared in several highly-successful projects, such as “The Eagle Has Landed”.
Rise to Prominence
Gradually Treat’s name was becoming more popular, and it was in 1979 that he secured one of his most prominent roles so far, as George Berger in the Golden Globe Award-nominated comedy-drama musical “Hair”, co-starring John Savage and Beverly D’Angelo. The same year, Treat portrayed Cpl. Chuck ‘Stretch Sitarski in the war comedy film “1941”, next to John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd.
Treat continued quite successfully in the ‘80s, appearing in over 15 films that became successful, including the lead role in the comedy-drama “Why Would I Lie”, starring with Lisa Eichorn and Gabriel Macht, and then another lead role came his way in the crime drama film “Prince of the City” in 1981. Two years later he was Jack Dempsey in the biopic about the boxer of the same name, entitled “Dempsey”. One of the most successful films of the ‘80s couldn’t go without him, as Treat was cast in the Sergio Leone’s “Once Upon a Time in America”, with Robert De Niro, James Woods and Elizabeth McGovern as the stars of the film, and he also appeared in another Golden Globe award-winning film – “A Streetcar Named Desire”.
Continual Success
All of this was in the first half of the ‘80s, and Treat continued in the same way until the end of the decade; he was Terry in the film “The Men’s Club” in 1986, then the titular character in the television film “J. Edgar Hoover” in 1987, and before the decade was over, he was Hoyt Cunningham in the film “Heart of Dixie” in 1989.
Nothing much changed for Treat in the ‘90s, as he continued with high-profile films such as “Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead” in 1995, and then as Xander Drax in the action comedy film “Phantom”, with Billy Zane as his opposite. He starred in “Deep Rising” in 1998, and finished off the decade with the part of Pat in the film “The Deep End of the Ocean” (1999).
Career Decline and Resurgence

However, following the end of the series, Treat’s career resumed its decline, and it wasn’t until 2010 that he acquired a notable role, when he featured in the Academy Award-nominated film “127 Hours”, with James Franco in the lead role. After this, roles in films became fewer, and he turned to TV series, playing Colonel Stephen Glen in the TV series “American Odyssey” (2015), then Mich O’Brien in “Chesapeake Shores” (2016-2018), among other projects. Most recently, he returned to film with the part of Anderson Clarke in the romantic comedy-drama “Second Act” (2018), and is now working on two films – the action adventure “The Great Alaskan Race” and the crime drama “The Dougherty Gang”, which are yet to receive a premiere date.
