Cory Williams (born August 5, 1981), also known as "Mr. Safety" from SMP Films, is an actor and YouTube personality who, up until early 2013, lived in Thousand Oaks, California, and currently resides in Eagle River, Alaska. His "The Mean Kitty Song" is Williams' most popular video to date.
Williams was diagnosed with ADHD as a child. However, he has said on one of his videos that he does not have hyperactivity anymore, and thus currently only has ADHD-PI.
Williams became engaged to Stephanie Roby (known as SMPlady on YouTube) in April 2007, and they were wed in September 2009, with a reception that was live streamed. However, their relationship ended in January 2011, after over six years of being together and over a year of marriage.
By November 2011, Cory was dating Kathleen Victoria Elliot (known as Katers17 and Katersoneseven on YouTube), his longtime roommate, friend, and fellow video blogger. They publicly revealed their relationship in December 2011 on New Year's Eve, via a YouTube vlog on Elliot's Katersoneseven channel. In May 2013, it was announced that the two were engaged via a relationship status on Williams' Facebook profile and a video on Elliot's Katersoneseven channel. However, in February 2014, Williams announced that he and Elliot had split up.
In July 2014, Williams traveled from Los Angeles to Alaska, filming the trip, planning to live permanently in the state. In August 2014, Williams announced that he was buying a house with a woman named Kristen Swift. She was introduced with no specific details as to her identity as part of a "date" vlog on June 7, 2014. The couple got engaged on December 21, 2014, and were married on May 23, 2015. It was announced on October 26, 2015 that they are expecting a baby. On his public Facebook page, Cory announced that his wife Kristen had given birth to their daughter Chell Marie Williams on June 23rd, 2016, at 7:15pm local time.
Williams had previously been filming comedy sketches in his younger years. In 2006, Williams uploaded two videos to his YouTube channel, SMP Films of his first comedy sketches from 1999. These videos were "Turlock Cops" and "STOPMAN".
Williams started streaming online video in March 2005 on Newgrounds. He then developed a following by posting original music tracks to his MySpace profile, leading MySpace to sponsor him on a cross-country tour. In September 2005, Golden Palace Casino sponsored Williams, making him the first video blogger to receive corporate sponsorship. Williams is the creator of SMP Films, which was named after his friends in his home town of Hilmar, California. The "SMP" stands for "Simple Minded People".
