**Grant Williams (1931-1985)** was an American actor, primarily remembered for his starring role in the science fiction classic **The Incredible Shrinking Man** (1957).

In the film, Williams played Scott Carey, a man who, exposed to a radioactive cloud, begins to shrink inexorably. His performance, which captured the character's despair and solitude, was central to the film's critical and lasting success.

Williams was noted for his ability to portray ordinary characters, often trapped in extraordinary circumstances, typical of genre films. His cinematic career often saw him involved in horror and sci-fi productions, such as **The Monolith Monsters** (1957) and **The Leech Woman** (1960). After the early 1960s, his work largely shifted to television.
