Appears he also did four years of college, probably after his World War I military service. Circa 1939 - 1940, Williams exited the movie business and began work in the airplane industry. In the 1940 census, he's with Douglas Aircraft in California and when he registered for the World War II draft in late 1942, he was in St. Louis, Missouri and employed by McDonnell Aircraft ... and he still had the "acting bug". Several articles in the August, 1943 editions of the St. Louis Star-Times newspaper highlight a play to be performed by McDonnell Aircraft's in-house MAC Players dramatic group. The director was Roger Williams, aeronautical engineer at McDonnell Aircraft and one-time actor at Republic Pictures.
