Billy Dee Williams – Age 86

Billy Dee Williams is an actor well-known to Star Wars fans, as he was in several movies throughout the franchise, most recently in 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker. It was a big comeback since it is probably the longest time between two character portrayals on camera by a single actor since the latest before that was in 1983.

Williams started honing his craft on Broadway and debuted in film in The Last Angry Man, in 1959. He won an Emmy for Brian’s Song, and he now has a star on the  Hollywood Walk of Fame. Williams was also a participant on the Dancing with the Stars reality show and was most recently heard as Lando Calrissian’s voice in The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special.
