One of the best Star Wars actors out there. hide show

The first movie with Billy dee Williams I ever saw was Star Wars Episode V The Empire Strikes Back 1997 Special Edition. I have also seen Return of the Jedi (1997 and 2004 Special Editions only) and his role as Calrissian is a very cool role for him. I have also seen Batman. His role as Distrct Attoreny Harvey Dent was a pretty nice role for him. If only he did Dent in Batman Forever. Billy Dee Williams is one of the best actors in the world.
