Performer of the Week: Kelli Williams on 'Found'

This week’s pick for performer of the week goes to Kelli Williams as Margaret Reed on NBC’s Found. From the pilot episode we have seen Margaret go through the emotions of losing her child Jamie and helping Gabi find missing people weekly by using her “superpower”. You need a read on a person, Margaret is the one to call. This season has seen her dealing with the revelation that Gabi has been lying to her and the team. 

Spoiler alert if you do not know and somehow have been living under a rock but it was revealed that Gabi was keeping Mark-Paul Gosselaar’s character Sir locked up in her basement. He escaped and all hell broke loose. He is back in custody now taunting not just Gabi but Margaret as well. This week we got a back story into Margaret's life around the time her child first went missing and were able to see her decline. 

Her husband left her and she could not be a mother to her other children. From the flashbacks to the present, Kelli Williams did an amazing job portraying Margaret’s struggle. Her defining moment standing up to the pure evil that is Sir was chef’s kiss. Even Sir was taken aback. 

This season has been a rollercoaster of emotions and part of the reason that the show works is the relationship between Gabi and her friends. When Margaret was giving Gabi the cold shoulder, we could feel that as well as viewers. Kelli gives everything in this role. Her emotions are all over her face. She has the ability to make us love her, hate her and sympathize all at the same time. What she is doing with her current storyline with Jamie is impeccable. That is why this week she has earned The TV Cave’s Performer of the Week.
