With gorgeous high cheek bones, a phenomenal thin-toned build, and impeccable acting skills to top it all off, it’s really no surprise that Willam Belli made a name for himself as the infamous transsexual sex pot Cherry Peck on the hit TV series Nip/Tuck in 2004-2006. Before that recurring role, he could be seen in so many TV shows, including The District, Boston Public, Cold Case, The Shield, What I Like About You, Arrested Development, My Name is Earl, Related, and Saved. After that appearance, it was CSI: NY, American Body Shop, Women’s Murder Club, Southland, Criminal Minds, CSI, The New Normal, Difficult People, The Kominsky Method, and regular roles as Douglas/Gomorrah Ray on Eastsiders from 2015-2019, and Judge Willam on Iconic Justice in 2021. Though never fully naked, you can still admire Willam’s fine frame in Eastsiders, and also in the feature-length films Southern Baptist Sissies (2013) and Hurricane Bianca (2016). Not where you’ve seen this artist? How about as Emerald in A Star is Born (the Lady Gaga version in 2018), or the transsexual in the sweetly cute Because I Said So (2007) with Mandy Moore and Diane Keaton. Willam also doubles as an equally talented recording artist, with solo songs like “Oopsie Woopsie,” and “Daddy D,” and as part of the groups DWV and The AAA Girls. He also has the distinction of being the first contestant to be disqualified from RuPaul’s Drag Race. Rumors abound as to why, but the official reason was that he snuck his hubby in for conjugal visits, a no-no for the reality show.
