RIP veteran actor 'Treat Williams' 1951-2023

TREAT WILLIAMS recently died after a motorcycle accident. He was a veteran actor who had many roles in films and on TV. 

What I remember was the 1984 TV movie, "A Streetcar Named Desire" when he portrayed Stanley Kowalski to Anne Margaret's Blanche Dubois. I believe it was a TV ratings hit.

But - If you want a Guilty Pleasure.... Watch the 1998 horror film, "Deep Rising" with Treat fighting an underwater monster. It was a box office bomb and critics hated it. The production budget climbed to $45 million and made only $11 million at the box office.

It is so "bad" that it's fun to watch.... Over the years. The movie has become a Cult Classic. I think it's because of Treat Williams. His "Charisma" was in over-load throughout all of the Horror. Check it out if you can. Rest in Peace Treat....

Hollywood Pictures.

Treat Williams is in the front with the well-groomed hair. RIP.

Below is the Classic trailer of "Deep Rising."
