 | | Not only is he a renowned tv, film, and stage performer, but he's also a singer (he sang on the group-hug track,"Voices That Care") and an accomplished artist: when we spoke on the phone in February, he was preparing to travel to Tokyo for a gallery show of his paintings. |
 | | Still, Williams is probably best known for his movies: Brian's Song (1971), Lady Sings the Blues (1972), Bingo Long and the Traveling All-Stars (1976), and of course, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983). |
 | | Currently, Williams is talking about The Visit, Jordan Walker-Pearlman's feature debut, about a young man (Hill Harper) dying of AIDS in prison, trying to reconcile with his father, Henry, played by Billy Dee Williams. |
