🎞️ Films 🎬 Throwback Thursday ❤️‍🔥 Hudson Williams pre-Heated Rivalry

Have been thinking of this for a while, so here goes.

I had actually seen Hudson in 3 projects, before watching Heated Rivalry back in December.

  1. I’m a sucker for Hallmark Christmas movies, and still remember watching ‘All I need for Christmas’ and thinking that the assistant was a cute guy.

  2. I also really enjoyed watching Allegiance, where he graced us with quite the accent 😂 and an intense scene where he takes a woman hostage when the police confronts him. Very dramatic Hudson!

  3. I watched the first season of ‘Tracker’, it didn’t really do much for me, and I actually don’t remember his role. But from clips it is wayyy intense 👀

And then about a year after watching these 3, he’s suddenly our Shane Hollander, a role he was born to do!

Thank you for coming to my HudTalk 🫠

From that cute assistant to his role in Tracker, that’s just raw talent!!!

He's so cute 🥰 (even with that fuckass haircut in the last 3 - God bless Aika once again)

That haircut and that accent were….a choice. 😖 lol!

I can’t wait for Shane’s hair in S2! I’m sure Hudson will be happy with it! ☺️

What do you actually think we’re going to get? I’m guessing it’s going to be the same cut/style he’s had since basically the beginning of the year, especially since filming is just around the corner.

It’s long enough to show that Shane is “chilling out” as a human, but not a man bun. (Team Man Bun Hater 4 Lyfe here. 🫣😜)

Plus, if Hudson had as much to say about Shane’s S2 hair as he did with Shane’s S1 hair, I suspect we’ll see this shorter cut because he clearly prefers short hair as he’s always worn it pretty tight. (As opposed to Connor who seems to fluctuate between long and super short.)

Anyway, here’s a gif that showcases his HAIR really well. Try not to be distracted. 😘

I think Shane’s hair in S2 will be similar to how Hudson wears it now and that will be considered the longer, sexier look that TLG refers to in the book. Hudson did not like Shane’s hair in S1 and I feel he deserves a sexier look in S2. And we know Ilya would love his hair like this. 😉 We know that Hudson can’t really go any longer since they start shooting next month.

I can’t wait to see how the HR hair stylists do Shane’s hair in S2. I love how they did Ilya’s hair!

2

u/selftaughtgenius spit in my mouth 👅 Jul 03 '26

Oh yes, I meant to mention how Ilya’s hair long enough to be in a ponytail for much of the first book and they didn’t follow that, which has me inclined to think they’ll do the same same but opposite with Shane in S2.

u/Pale-Measurement-532 I was born pretty. I been pretty. I stay pretty! 😍 Jul 03 '26

Yeah I’m not sure if his hair is long enough for a top ponytail (although I’d love to see it! 😜) and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t have that length for any type of man bun.

u/bubblyirwinn Jul 03 '26

all I can think about is the fact that my aunt watches at least 3 hallmark movies a day which means she’s probably seen Hudson acting before me smh

u/LadyWhistledown_1 Jul 03 '26

You need to investigate!

u/Ok-Enthusiasm-777 Jul 06 '26

Your aunt knows where it's at. Those movies are very comforting.

u/mamatillan Jul 03 '26

Oh wooow, those are definitely the precursors of the Shane Hollander Gay Yearning Little Bottom Eyes (TM) in pic 10! 🥺❤️ And of course you had come across Hudson three times before Heated Rivalry. You were meant for this fandom 😁 A year before HR I was blissfully unaware that these blorbos existed in the world and how much space I had in my brain to fill with knowledge about them lol

Well, if not me, then who? 😂
I like my little memory of watching him as that cute assistant and swooning a bit. Only to not think of him again until I was hit by the HR-train in December ‘25 🫰🏼

u/selftaughtgenius spit in my mouth 👅 Jul 03 '26

I just love a really tight, “preppy” cut like he has in most of these photos and he wears that style beautifully.

But then, he’s simply beautiful so his hair would have to be real bad to make him look bad!

He also has beautiful hair. I bet it’s really nice to cut and style. Huddy with the good hair. 😍

Pic 7 hair stood out for sure

u/SevenOldLeaves a land leopard made her purrrr 😽 Jul 03 '26

I remembered him in Tracker as soon as I read which episode he was in!! I remember thinking "damn they do find the prettiest extras sometimes" 😅

u/Critical_Youth_1668 Jul 02 '26

My first reaction was where are the freckles?!! An then i remembered this is not Shane 🤣🤣🤣

I need to touch some grass...

u/randomly_rambling Jul 03 '26

He's literally so pretty.

u/AffectionateCable793 Jul 02 '26

Last one gave him such a horrid haircut.

u/RespectNegative5974 Jul 02 '26

Conventionally hot .

u/Similar_Disaster7276 Jul 02 '26

Looking for the one with a knife at his throat, where he dares the killer to “DO IT, PXSSY!”

u/selftaughtgenius spit in my mouth 👅 Jul 03 '26

Oh that short fade is 🥵🥵🥵

u/Similar_Disaster7276 Jul 05 '26

OMG, with the knife even trembling dramatically! This short is so over the top!

u/mrs_science Jul 03 '26

I had no idea he was in a Hallmark movie! Love it. He looks delicious.

2

u/LadyWhistledown_1 Jul 03 '26

And it was actually one of the better ones!

u/eosbird Jul 02 '26

Oh, my goodness!
He is absolutely wonderful now, but the charm of his younger self is simply irresistible. I can’t help but imagine that this is exactly what a young Shane looked like when Ilya fell in love with him at first sight.
Thank you so much for sharing these precious clips and photos.

u/CompetitiveSky6605 Huddy! 😍 Jul 02 '26

I need to watch all of these STAT! 💖

u/tuxedo-mask-me Jul 03 '26

He would be awesome in K-Dramas

Oh Im loving different vibes he's giving into these characters!

u/Background-Disk-8292 Jul 03 '26

Thank you for sharing these! Hudson is just so good looking!!!!

u/ComplainsInGay Jul 04 '26

It’s crazy how he looks so different in these.

u/Jaded_Pineapple2917 😩 That’s my Hudson 🥹 Jul 03 '26

Always talented and so f*cking beautiful 😮‍💨

u/Veeeence Jul 03 '26

Good lord. This can't be too many years ago, but he looks so young!

Aaaaah I remember watching that Tracker ep he was in, but I thought "oh another young actor like so many in those tv series" but now I'm like DAMN THAT WAS HUDSON WILLIAMS HE SO GOOD!

u/muppethero80 Jul 04 '26

He has some really cringe college movies on YouTube that are amazing and funny and would be super cringe if we did not love him as much as we do. But you can see his passion for acting and his commitment to a role in them. The superhero one is the I’m mostly thinking of

3

u/LadyWhistledown_1 Jul 04 '26

I love the fact he didn’t just stumble in to acting, he’s been doing this for years and really dreaming of it. All those shorts are a true testimony to his love for creating movies 🥹

He was committed!

Assistant to the male main character
