Kenneth Williams, most popularly known by his stage name Eric Monte, was born and raised in the economically impoverished Cabrini-Green Housing project in Chicago. It was an environment filled with gangs, high unemployment, and drugs. When Monte was five years old, he loved to play cowboys and Indians and pretend that he was the Lone Ranger. While Monte was playing a white man approached him and told Monte that he couldn't be the lone ranger because the lone ranger was white. At the tender age of five, Eric Monte made a vow and told himself that when he grew up, he was going to make some black heroes. And that is exactly what Eric Monte did.
