My Take
Treat Williams represents a kind of career I think we undervalue: five decades of consistent, professional excellence without ever needing to be the biggest name on the poster. Golden Globe and Emmy nominations, work spanning stage, film, and television, and he still found time to write children's books, which tells you something about his curiosity. When he died in 2023, the affection from colleagues was striking; the people who actually make movies adored him. I have come to believe these reliable, generous performers are the load-bearing walls of the industry. The stars get the headlines, but actors like Williams hold the whole structure up.
