Williams’ agent, Barry McPherson, told People that Williams died in a motorcycle accident, and he also confirmed the heartbreaking news.

“He passed away this afternoon. He was making a left or right turn when a driver abruptly cut him off, claims McPherson.

I am destroyed. He was a really generous man. He was so talented.

“Williams has had a distinguished career,” the statement reads, referring to his more than 40 years as a pillar of the entertainment business. “Movie makers adored him. He has been the focus of the Hollywood scene since the late 1970s, said McPherson. This year, he took tremendous satisfaction in his efforts.

Williams apparently gained notoriety due to his part in the 1975 film “Deadly Hero.” Before his death, he participated in a number of TV and film projects, including “The Late Shift,” for which he was nominated for an Emmy, and “A Streetcar Named Desire,” for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe.
