After announcing Williams’ intentions on Wednesday, his publicist reported that “[Williams] looks forward to returning to work this fall to support his upcoming film releases.” In addition to “The Night Listener,” which opened last week, Williams has three movies pending release to theaters this year.

Shooting to fame as the beloved star of “Mork and Mindy” in the 1970’s, William’s has received several Academy Awards Nominations for later works.
