We would like to wish Billy Dee WIlliams, who portrays everybody’s favorite scoundrel, Lando Calrissian, a happy birthday! Any “Star Wars” movie or “Rebels” episode featuring Lando “works every time!”
Billy was born April 6, 1937 in New York City. His impressive career includes an Emmy-nominated performance in the film Brian’s Song, in which he played Gale Sayers. He also appeared in films including Lady Sings the Blues, Nighthawks, and Batman (1989).
In this 1980 Today interview, Williams discusses his role in The Empire Strikes Back.
Happy birthday Billy Dee!
