The actor who portrayed
Lando Calrissian in the original
Star Wars trilogy, is set to be at
Star Wars Celebration IV on Sunday, May 27. Williams is scheduled to appear for an interview and question and answer session with Petree Stage host Scott Chernoff.
Star Wars fans might know him best as Lando, but Williams' acting career has been busy, long, and varied with starring film roles that include Louis McKay in Lady Sings the Blues, Gayle Sayers in Brian's Song, Harvey Dent in Batman, and the father of a prison inmate dying of AIDS in The Visit, for which Williams earned a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Multicultural Motion Picture Association. In September he is traveling to Alabama to shoot a new project called Constellation. Williams will appear in a cameo in the upcoming Star Wars-themed comedy, Fanboys.
