Godspeed Treat Williams - My Last Interview with TV/Film Actor, Pilot & Friend, Treat Williams

This was my most recent interview with the amazing Treat Williams. Treat passed away Monday, June 12th in a motorcycle accident near his home in VT. I was fortunate to have called him a good friend and miss him dearly.

Treat was an actor, writer and passionate aviator who has appeared on film, stage and television in over 120 credits. He first became well known for his starring role in the 1979 musical film Hair, and later also starred in films including Prince of the City, Once Upon a Time in America, The Late Shift, 127 Hours, 1941, DB Cooper and so many more.

His recent roles include Chesapeake Shores (where he played a pilot), Blue Bloods, We Own This City. And he has just completed filming a new production that will air on the FX Network: Capote’s Women.

He was a pilot for over 50 years, having owned a bunch of different aircraft including a Navajo Chieftain, a T6 Texan and his last (and perhaps ideal) hangar combination of a Piper Cub and Aztec.
