R.J. Williams has already amassed great success and credits in the entertainment industry. Born and raised in Southern California, Williams grew up in Hollywood, spending much of his youth as a television actor appearing in several well known television series. After more than a decade in front of the camera, Williams decided to take a hiatus; so he could study at the prestigious USC film school.  Now he is the host, producer, creator and CEO of YoungHollywood LLC, his fledgling entertainment media company,  and he's only really just finding his stride.

After completing his studies at USC, Williams formed a production company, Arjay Entertainment to focus on celebrity and lifestyle programming. Williams' first project, "The Hookup," was a pilot in which he interviewed several of his celebrity friends. This presentation caught the eye of Showtime executives and he then began a relationship that lasted several years and spawned numerous series and specials including "The Red Carpet," "VIP Access," "Breakthrough of the Year Awards" and "The Young Hollywood Awards."  Williams then teamed up with Dick Clark productions and went on to anchor a one hour primetime American Music Awards Pre-Show special  for ABC.   Arjay Entertainment quickly became the "go to" production company for one-of-a-kind-celebrity programming and became the market leader in "Young Hollywood" related content. They soon started adding clients such as ABC, TV Guide Channel, Fox Cable, AOL and many others.

Williams says, "At that point, I felt I was doing all I could with the production-for-hire format. I kept coming back to the idea of developing a cutting-edge entertainment brand focused on what I was doing."  "I realized the only way I could realize my vision, was to invest the capital and resources to launch Young Hollywood myself."   Williams began shooting content for his new venture towards the end of 2006 and unveiled the beta version of YoungHollywood.com in early 2007.

Currently, Williams is focused on building Young Hollywood into a prominent, successful entertainment media platform. With respect to his vision, he says "Every ten years or so, a new entertainment brand comes on the scene and becomes established. I intend for Young Hollywood to be the next one, but we've only just scratched the surface of where I plan to take it. " With Williams' track record, there's little reason to doubt him.
