William December "Billy Dee" Williams Jr. (born April 6, 1937) is an American actor, artist, singer and writer. He has played in about 50 movies and has appeared in numerous TV series since 1959.

His most famous role is undoubtedly Lando Calrissian in the original ''Franchise/StarWars'' trilogy films. He ''adores'' the role, having voiced the character in nearly every piece of media he's appeared in since, be it a videogame, audiobook, or cartoon, and ultimately reprising it in live action with ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker''.

* ''VideoGame/LegoStarWars'' as Lando Calrissian



* WhatCouldHaveBeen: He played Harvey Dent in Creator/TimBurton's ''Batman'', but bowed out from reprising the role as Two-Face in ''Film/BatmanForever'', which was then picked up by Creator/TommyLeeJones. Apparently, the reason he didn't reprise the role in ''Forever'' was because the chemicals would've made one side of his face lighter, and it would've raised issues about race and whatnot. [[note]]on top of that, Music/MichaelJackson had attracted controversy due to his skin bleaching from multiple cosmetic surgeries; Jackson was also considered for the role of The Riddler, so if Williams had become Two Face, he would've been seen mimicking Jackson.[[/note]]
