Who Plays William Afton In The Five Nights At Freddy's Movie?

In the many years that Matthew Lillard has been acting, he's accrued a massive list of credits. Nonetheless, his two most iconic roles come from two horror-comedy classics from the late '90s and early '00s. First came Lillard's role in the original "Scream," in which he portrayed Stu Macher, the villainous accomplice of the very first Ghostface killer. Several years later, the actor would jump onto the cast of the 2002 live-action "Scooby-Doo" movie, in which he played the titular detective dog's cowardly best friend Shaggy Rogers — a role that he continues to reprise for various projects to this very day.

Outside of those franchises, Lillard has appeared in such movies as 1995's crime-drama "Hackers," the 1999 rom-com "She's All That," and the 2011 dramedy "The Descendants." He has also guest starred in episodes of many popular TV shows, including "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "House," "Criminal Minds," "The Good Wife," the "Twin Peaks" revival, "Bosch," and "Billions." Recent years saw Lillard star as part of the main cast for NBC's crime comedy series "Good Girls" as Dean Boland.

In some ways, Lillard's role in "Five Nights at Freddy's" is a return to his horror-centric roots. It's also a role that fans should expect to see the actor in for quite some time, as he confirmed via an interview with WeeklyMTG that he has signed a three-picture deal for the movie franchise.
