    a relation of Cleveland Williams?

    They're nowhere near the same size of course, but nonetheless I see a striking resemblance:

    Bump. 68 views but not a single reply. Does no one know or does everyone think I was just being a smartass?

    I'm serious, I really suspect they might be related.

    I don’t really think they look all that similar? Not sure why you would make this connection? I guess they share a common last name which just happens to be the 3rd most common American last name:

    I guess it is possible, but not sure what would lead one to a connection between these 2

    You don't see a facial resemblance? (Or in the physique, if you scale down?) "Williams" is of course an extremely common last name in the United states, but they also both have very odd and unusual first names. (Or anyway, it would be a little less surprising to me for a parent to name a baby "Cleveland" if his own name is "Holman".

    Bing Crosby named his daughter "Manhattan". (Just kidding.)

    I do see a bit of a facial resemblance… but if they were indeed related, I'm sure we would already have heard about it.
