BET’s “The Oval” chronicles the tale of a family that powerful individuals placed in the White House while also showcasing the daily lives and intimate aspects of the employees that manage the nation’s most recognizable home.

“Tyler Perry’s: Ruthless,” the spin-off series starring Perry, relates the gripping tale of Ruth, a mother who abducts her young daughter and takes her into the murky depths of a fervent religious cult. Growing up as the eldest of seven children in Oklahoma City, Melissa made use of her family’s holiday get-togethers to organize and perform in her talent shows. Born into a theatrical family, she began her career by performing in as many local productions as she could find in Oklahoma City. Eventually, she moved to Atlanta to attend college and study theater at Clark University.

Williams became a member of the university’s drama club, the CAU Players, which presents several shows every year, including festivals of one-act plays, musicals, children’s plays, and classical works. When Melissa was a member of the CAU Players, she starred as Carmen in the film F.A.M.E. Melissa went on to acquire more technical training after graduating from the University of Atlanta to enable her to develop projects independently. She then used this experience to produce several music videos after moving to Los Angeles. Williams, who is aiming to create and appear in her future projects, is a true breakout star who landed her first series regular role on “Ruthless” and took the town by storm. Williams is typically seen in Los Angeles with her new French bulldog, Ray, attending spin classes, or working with the Young Storytellers when she’s not acting or working behind the camera.

Melissa L. Williams, an actress and vocalist from Oklahoma City, has always had a natural flair for performing. Growing up, Melissa pursued a variety of artistic pursuits, such as cheerleading, pageantry, and active involvement in local theater.

She joined the university’s acting group, CAU Players, there, where they performed everything from musicals to classical pieces. Melissa featured as “Carmen” in “F.A.M.E.” during her first year. Her dream of working in professional theater, cinema, and television was enhanced by this part, and after a few years, she felt it was time to move to California to pursue her skills. Melissa was raised by the university slogan, “FIND A WAY OR MAKE ONE,” and she moved to Los Angeles after taking a leap of faith.

Without an agency or manager, Melissa soon secured her first-day player job on the critically renowned series “The Game,” and she understood then that her actions were directed. After she and hundreds of other performers went through the audition process for multiple roles in Tyler Perry’s “Sistas” and “The Oval,” her life rapidly changed. Tyler approached Melissa to give her the title part of “Ruth” in “Ruthless,” a spin-off of “The Oval,” after she had secured a recurring role as Denise in “The Oval.” Melissa extended an offer for her first series regular part following her return to auditions. With intentions to create and feature in her passion projects, Melissa is a true breakout star who is sweeping the town. When she’s not on film, she spends much of her time developing her mental, physical, and spiritual health because she’s driven to be the best version of herself.
