Everwood‘s Gregory Smith is paying tribute to his onetime TV dad Treat Williams, who died Monday following a motorcycle accident.
In a statement to People, the actor behind Ephram Brown called news of Williams’ death “devastating,” adding, “Treat was a wonderful man and a brilliant actor. Above all, he loved his family so much. I’m very grateful for the time I got to spend as part of his extended tv family. He made an indelible impression on me during my most formative years. I will always cherish my time with Treat and think fondly of his stories, his laugh and his passion for adventure. I’m sending love to his family, Pam, Gil and Elinor. He will be deeply missed.”
Fellow Everwood alum Emily VanCamp, who similarly worked with Williams on all four seasons of beloved WB drama (as well as the 2011 TV movie Beyond the Blackboard), also paid her respects to the actor on Instagram. “The many times we worked together – always wonderful and I was always excited for the next time,” she wrote. “Sending all my love to your family Treat. Fly high my friend.”
Williams’ agent Barry McPherson confirmed that Williams was killed on Monday afternoon when a car cut him off as he was making a turn on his motorcycle in Vermont.
A Great Loss to us all. Prayers go out to his family and friends he will be missed so very much, words can’t express how much his loss to us all.
You got it wrong. Someone made a left in front of him, while he was going straight from the other direction. Try to keep up.
does it really matter? come on!
Ask his family if it matters. Let me spell it out for you. It does matter (a lot) when it comes to the investigation and finding out who is at fault. Now go back to your soap operas.
Why throw a fit like that here, Lily? Seriously, why?
Oh, is that a “fit”? I’m simply answering that person’s question. “Come on!”
Yes, a fit. A very nasty and childish one.
All of these tributes and remembrances to Treat are very touching. He seemed like a very kind, loving, and professional man. Such a tragic loss for all who loved him! He would have continued to have a great career! I loved Everwood! Didn’t watch it until a few years ago, and can’t believe I had missed such a wonderful show while it was originally on. Seems like those great relationships on-screen continued off-screen. Was always hoping for an Everwood reunion, but without Dr. Brown, it just wouldn’t be the same. So sad to lose two people from the Everwood cast within the past few weeks. Very sad!
I can’t believe Heraldo was on Fox. I really respected him when I was much younger. I can’t respect anyone that works for Fox ” pseudo news.
Treat Williams inhabited any role I saw him in. Everwood is one of the finest series ever created. I am a fan, and I will miss his brilliance. RIP Treat.
