The film itself was a huge success, grossing four times its budget and thrusting Williams-Paisley firmly into the spotlight while earning her a MTV Movie Awards nomination for Best Breakthrough Performance that same year.
Completing her studies and contributing stunning performances to another two Hollywood films, Williams-Paisley returned for Father of the Bride Part II in 1995, further cementing her place as one of Hollywood’s most promising new faces. These breakthrough performances would set Williams-Paisley up to appear alongside screen legends like Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez, before landing a seven-year role in ABC’s hilarious sitcom According To Jim. With recurring roles in musical drama Nashville and phenomenally popular sitcom Two and a Half Men, and dozens of supplementing TV and film roles in between, Williams-Paisley has consistently proven her ability to move effortlessly between the most lighthearted and serious of roles, providing equally stunning performances in each.
Still filming a variety of film and TV projects for major networks and Hollywood productions companies, Williams-Paisley continues to showcase her exceptional talents on the world stage.
