Happy National Teacher Appreciation Day! Celebs Who Were Teachers Before They Were Stars
Jesse Williams
In 2009, Jesse Williams joined the cast of “Grey’s Anatomy” as the young yet hunky Dr. Jackson Avery. Before he started receiving a regular check from Hollywood, Williams followed in the footsteps of his parents and was a teacher. After graduating from Temple University, the “Brooklyn’s Finest” actor taught American studies, African studies and English at a Philadelphia public high school. Williams also modeled while in college and has starred in music videos for Rihanna and Estelle.
