With a deep, refined voice, Ted Williams simply asked for help to get off the streets. He’s been heard. Left homeless after his life and career were ruined by drugs and alcohol, Williams has been offered a job by the Cleveland Cavaliers and is being pursued by NFL Films for possible work. His compelling tale became an online sensation after The Columbus Dispatch posted a clip of Williams demonstrating his voiceover skills by the side of the road. “I can’t believe what’s going on,” said Williams, a father of nine, adding he feels like overnight star Susan Boyle. “God gave me a million-dollar voice, and I just hope I can do right by him.”
