In his teen years he crafted his art on the stand-up circuits of Florida, Oklahoma and Sacramento amongst other places. Williams's big break came in the summer of 1999 when he won Cedric The Entertainer’s Anheuser-Busch "Best Los Angeles Comic’s" Award. This propelled Katt into the role of 'Money Mike' in 2002's 'The Friday After Next' (a character he went on to play at the start of Lil Kim's video for 'Lighters Up' in 2005. Later in 2001, Katt auditioned for the Montreal Comedy Festival and was chosen as one of the 'New Faces'. Before he stepped foot on stage in Canada, he landed an overall deal with NBC Studios. In October 2002, he auditioned at Twentieth Century Fox for NYPD Blue and was immediately offered the role.
