38. Billy Dee Williams Opens Up

Billy Dee Williams took to the stage on the last day of Celebration, and his speech was particularly interesting for how he downplayed his suaveness and charm that is such an integral part of his portrayal of Lando Calrissian. The 77-year-old said he always saw himself as “a pretty silly person,” so he was always struck by the reaction to his character.
