Kit Williamson (born November 13, 1985) is an American actor and filmmaker best known for playing the role of Ed Gifford on the final two seasons of AMC's Mad Men and for creating the Daytime Emmy-Nominated LGBT Series EastSider.[1] He was born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi and attended Interlochen Arts Academy, an arts boarding school in northern lower Michigan[2] and Fordham University.[3] He is also openly gay.[4] He appeared in the Broadway premiere of Eric Bogosian's Talk Radio, starring Liev Schreiber, which ran from March 11 to June 24, 2007.[5]
Other stage performances include the Off-Broadway premiere of Przemyslaw Wojcieszek's "Made in Poland" at 59E59. The show was reviewed in Variety, which said, "Williamson's hilariously serious perf as an angst-filled wannabe revolutionary strikes exactly the right note. As he wanders around his little town in post-Communist Poland, vandalizing cars and trashing phone booths, the unfairness of everything becomes so oppressive he delivers Bogus' every line like it's a prelude to a fistfight." [6]
He has appeared in a number of movies and television shows, including "Best Friends Forever," starring Brea Grant and Sean Maher, 2010: Moby Dick from The Asylum and episodes of Numb3rs and Death Valley.[7]
