Homeless Man with Golden Voice to Rehab?
Ted Williams -- the homeless man who became a radio-announcing hot commodity for his rich, booming voice -- has just seen his rags-to-riches journey hit a speed bump. He may be headed to rehab.
Williams, 53, made an appearance on Dr. Phil's show Wednesday and admitted he is still drinking. A rep for McGraw told People magazine that the doctor may have convinced Williams to go into rehab.
"If Ted is ever going to get better, he's got to be honest with himself and admit he's addicted to drugs and alcohol," said McGraw. "I've told him it's not going to be easy and it's going to take a lot of hard work. It might be a long journey for him, but this is a big step in the right direction."
The troubled voiceover actor also has a rap sheet that includes theft, robbery, forgery and drug possession. Police were called Monday when Williams was involved in a confrontation with a daughter with whom he recently reunited.
