An exceptionally handsome and charismatic performer with a serene baritone voice, Guy Williams was born Armand Joseph Catalano of Italian parentage in New York City on January 14, 1924. The elder child of an insurance broker, he was raised in the Washington Heights area.

Attending Peekskill Military Academy during his formative years, he originally broke into the entertainment field as a male fashion model. Guy subsequently joined New York's Neighborhood Playhouse, which led to such TV assignments as Studio One, and he debuted in films with a featured role as the bombardier on the Enola Gay in the feature film The Beginning or the End, the story about the first US-deployed atom bomb.
