Making of this Inspirational Movie
The Glass Window Cast
Jeremy Williams (Stuart) – Actor:
Jeremy Williams has a double portion of “it” and is using the gift to shine brightly for the Lord. He plays the lead character, Stuart Wright, brilliantly. Those that have worked with him have witnessed his immense acting talent, work ethic and humble heart. Professionally trained at Florida State University and the NYC School of Film & Television, Jeremy has had no shortage in receiving film or TV offers. However, he is earnestly seeking roles in projects that are faith-based, or inspirational family oriented. How did we find Jeremy? The Lord led him to us…while he was surfing Craigslist…on his work break…in Indian…Alaska. It takes a special man to travel thousands of miles (we filmed in Florida, the Bahamas and North Carolina) to work long hours at low wages simply because he believed in the film’s inspirational message. We are grateful that Jeremy is part of our team. We look forward to watching as doors continue to open for this very talented man of character.
