BILLY DEE WILLIAMS – 86 YEARS OLD

Many Star Wars fans will easily recognize Billy Dee Williams to be the man behind the credit role of Lando Calrissian. And fans would probably always mark him for his performance in the Star Wars, Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back. Although Williams’ Star Wars role established his career solidly, it would be an extra surprise to know how he already started to gain national attention in the 1971 television movie, Brian’s Song.

It was for his performance on the television film that he was recognized and nominated for an Emmy Award for Best Actor. Even at his age, he remains open for voice film projects like that stint he had with the Batman Lego Movie. Hey! Star Wars fans should poise themselves, especially Williams fans, as rumors have it that he might be back for Star Wars Episode IX. Now, we cross our fingers for seeing it soon on the big screen.
