His Law and Order SVU was sooo good! He was evil in that episode. I wish they followed up with it but sadly he died

Talent isn't what it used to be certainly and he will always be remembered for that most of all. I remember a time when cameos used to something people really took notice of. Now they're side gigs tossed around to puff up the credits screen, but not necessarily memorable... it's not enough to just throw someone in a role and expect them to perform it well in one day. It takes a lot of talent to really make just a short role simply iconic... I think because we had more people like that, the bar was higher and that really did benefit everyone creatively... and newer, but also talented people could get noticed off the backs of great work... but that great work, like many things media-related, it's not what it used to be... it's more about the budgeting, the special effects and creating as much merch as possible to support the production of a movie. Doesn't seem to matter as much whether theaters fill up or not?... Hollywood has lost its cultural impact in that way, I think, because of the loss of talent like Williams, who kept the craft elevated and that umbrella open for new people to come in and push the craft further. I always held the impression that people like Williams really truly cared and supported creativity, and not just follower counts or movies made & sold etc...
