He has gained recognition through musical theatre, receiving positive reviews for his role as William Kemmler in the Indian Ink production of The Dentist's Chair. Shannon Huse, reviewer for the New Zealand Herald, wrote "Gareth Williams is suitably cadaver scary as William Kemmler, the ghost of the first man to be executed by electric chair who haunts Albert. He gives a charismatic performance that includes two ghoulish songs."[3]

He has also taken on such stage roles as Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet (2010) and 'The Balladeer' in 'Assassins' (2010).[4][5]

Williams landed the supporting role of Vettius in Spartacus: Gods of the Arena (2011).[6]
