Andrew Williams is a Welsh-Australian actor and musician. Williams began performing and writing music in his teens, before forming a band and later embarking on a solo career. He was also a model and appeared in a number of television commercials, before he was cast as Guy Carpenter in the television soap opera Neighbours in 1991.

He also guested in episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond and Acapulco H.E.A.T., as well as self appearances in Burke's Backyard and Club Buggery.
