When Williams isn’t acting or hanging out with his family on his farm, he enjoys tinkering with classic and vintage vehicles. Although the motorcycle he rides is a 1986 Honda, Williams also has a 1950s Chevy Apache truck and an early 1970s Oldsmobile.
Matt Bomer, who played Williams’ son on the series “White Collar” posted a touching tribute, “This is a tough one, and I hate to do this on social media, but I want to share what an absolute treasure Treat Williams is- as an actor and a person. I was very honored that he agreed to play my father in White Collar, and he jumped in and made every day on the set a joy. He taught me in the most beautiful way- through patient example. He’s one of the few actors I’ve worked with who has always looked out for me – even years after we worked together.”
Taylor Kinney, who co-starred with Williams in “Chicago Fire” said, “I will always enjoy our conversations and his incredible ability to light up a room. We all send love, he will be missed.”
Several of Williams’ other co-stars over the years also posted tributes on social media, talking about how special he was, and how much he will be missed. Veteran actor Tom Selleck also sent a tribute to Williams.
