Who is Cody Williams?
Cody Alan Williams is the youngest son of late actor and comedian Robin Williams. Unlike his father, Cody found comfort in working behind the camera as opposed to working in front of it. Starting his career as a production assistant, Cody Williams went on to work in several popular films, such as Trouble with the Curve and American Reunion. Cody is also a musician and has studied music production. As far as his personal life is concerned, Cody likes to maintain a low profile and is not active on social media. In 2019, he married his long-time girlfriend, Maria Flores, on what would have been his late father, Robin Williams’ 68th birthday.
