Treat Williams

God, eldergays have the strangest taste.

How about this one?

to each their own

NOT a good photo, OP. This one is better.

Or this?

He's one I never got. It may be his voice I hate the most, though. I can't stand hearing him talk.

I had the hots for him in Prince Of The City. He was also pretty damn sexy in that rapey movie with Laura Dern.

Yeah, OP, that picture with the dead ferret on his head isn't his best picture.

I like that he has musical theater cred.

Good actor. But I never thought he was good looking, at least when it came to his face. I guess he had a good body, if you go for those burly types.

Lucky for me some do r10.

Young Treat looks like this very hot ripped Russian dude (from Dagestan, Turkic-looking) I used to go to school with. Would walk around school in fucking spandex cause he was a biker, ye gods. Photographed like shit but so sexy in person.

[quote]I like that he has musical theater cred.

—well I do

Me too. I think he's got a great singing voice.

Yum! I'd fuck him.

Why you should love him.

He looks like Phil Hartman's Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer in OP's pic.

Well, how else are you going to look when you're starring in the movie, "Hair?"

Mrs. Garrett was all over that ass!

I took musical theater my senior year and we watched Hair. When Treat showed his ass the class started laughing. The teacher told us to simmer down,you've seen one butt you've seen 'em all.

I 've always troubled as to one one man could be so gorgeous, and talented. My own voice is a bass, but the idea that ((I think) his a tenor is endearing to me.

[quote]you've seen one butt you've seen 'em all.

That's how I see ass, too. I always laugh at the queens who shriek "But he has NO ASS." Everyone has an ass, you ass.

He was the heartthrob with a baby voice in "The Ritz" and it was magical.

Looks sort of like Alec Baldwin.

I've heard from crews he's worked with that he's an egotistical dick.

He has always looked old.

The first pic he looks like Meloni with thick eyebrows and hair...

When he was younger, he was beautiful. Big closet case, I Used to fuck with him at the St Marks Baths before AIDS

Wasn’t he in Jo Papp’s Pirates of Penzance for a while?

Top or bottom?

He's a C-list actor at best. What does he have egotistical about?

There was an interesting tv production of "A Streetcar Named Desire", where he of course played Stanley. I thought he was pretty good. He did seem like an "ape" as Blanche called him, a big, hairy, hot ape.

Ys r31, opposite some unknown as Blanche.

R32 your unknown was Ann Margaret.

He was quite appealing and surprisingly effective in DL Fave FOLLIES! on Broadway back 10 or 15 years ago...

Blythe (Bumping Into Chorus Boys) Danner and Gregory (Did The Check Clear?) Harrison were a bit blah as Phyllis and Ben...

But Treat and (especially) Judith Ivey definitely brought the manic craziness to Buddy and Sally. Very well cast.

His "The Right Girl" was staged horrendously, but he managed to make it work (he literally threw tumblers at the brick wall throughout it).

Please don't use an exclamation point with FOLLIES r34. It makes it sound so......cheap. I was trying to find a youtube clip of him but couldn't. I remember there being vids of Who's That Woman? and Ivey's Losing My Mind. I don't know if the Roundabout clips have been removed or what. The only two things I found special about that production were Polly Bergen and the original Laurey as Heidi. Oh, and Betty Garrett. I couldn't wear pink for the next two years.....

Marni Nixon was better than Joan Roberts, who left early and was rightly replaced. Nice gesture, though.

Polly Bergen was sublime (controversial backphrasing included).

...and DL Fave FOLLIES! gets a exclamation point like it or not, toots.

Beautiful to WHOM?????

Not my taste.

....

R33, please turn in your gay card.

He was fuckable. He's aged well too.

Teddy bear

Not my type - something is just a little bit off with his face that doesn't work for me. But I did find some pics from The Ritz where he looks pretty good.

He's a brilliant actor. Best Stanley Kowalski ever, miles better than Brando.

[quote]Ann Margaret

Oh, dear.

Joan Roberts sounded almost exactly liked she sounded on the OCR of "Oklahoma!" in that "Follies", except of course she was singing "One More Kiss" instead of the songs from the R&H show. That same tone and beautiful voice was still there.

We need details from the guy who allegedly fucked him.

If by beautiful, you mean hideous, OP, then yes, I agree.

putting on the ritz

R7, I read that book in college; the one that Dern/Williams movie is based on.

She sees him the night before at a movie or something and the next day family goes off and she's alone in the house; Treat's character shows up and he won't come in the door but he easily could.

My take on it was that she fantasized him being there and was, in her head, trying to think what it would be like to have sex with him.

A humanities professor in college shot my theory down, but I still think it's correct.

Why wouldn't he just come in and fuck her brains out?

I remember seeing him in the movie of HAIR - and completely falling for him. He was good looking, smart, had swagger and charisma - a fatal combination.

Was always surprised he wasn't a bigger name in Hollywood - but it's always a game of snakes & ladders there - you never know who's gonna rise to the top of the heap. He might have been a complete ass. Or maybe he wouldn't put out for the right people? Or maybe the films he was in just never gave him the critical mass to move up the ladder...

Anyway - still think he's great! Sigh...

R51 Word is, he had a drug problem for awhile that derailed his career when it should have been at it's hottest.

He looks so much hotter in those pics with short hair.

FOLLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a $1 movie theatre in West Palm Beach, that doubled as Comedy shows on Fridays and Saturdays. Went to see Hair on a Monday. Went back every night till Thursday! Bought a poor quality DVD years back. Hair was fabulous, and showed Treats fine ass in the skinny dipping scene. Also, my favorite performance in the Hair Movie was Easy to Be Hard. I also enjoyed the cheesy horror movie with Treat called Deep Rising.

He lives in my friend's building on UWS in early 90s. Nice guy. Handsome as fuck in person. I also heard he hit the baths in his younger days.

'I also heard he hit the baths in his younger days'.

It's true. I have the proof

[quote]I also heard he hit the baths in his younger days.

I was just doing research for my starring role in The Ritz

The Ritz!!! Gookie Gomez!!!

He was absolutely wonderful in Hair but lacked that distinct appeal that makes a true star.

R59, for you.

Bathhouse scene

[quote]It's true. I have the proof - R. Moreno

That role should have gone to me!

[quote]Bathhouse scene

Obviously the creative team had never been in one. Too much light and way too clean.

R61, glorious!!

Chubby Chaser!!!

Self-correction--It was "Googie" Gomez, apparently, not "Gookie."

hardly a "staring" role, but definitely the best thing to look at

fuck you bitches, i got life

Thought he was at his hottest in the movie Smooth Talk

He was a big coke head back in the day and it did fuck up his career.

Loved him in so many things

Brando never did a thing for me but I would explore every inch of Treat. He's incredibly delectable.

I saw him in a Grease tour 40 years ago. I didn't know who anybody in the cast was until years later looking at the program. He was in it. I think Travolta was as well and maybe Marilu Henner? Wish I still had it. I do remember Judy Kaye was Rizzo.

....

Am I the only one who sees a little Chris Pine in him in those younger pictures?

Treat was very attractive. Was that his hair in the first picture? I don't remember his hair ever being long like that.

In the 70s, that hair was normal but the beards were not as ugly as the beards are now. The neck beards now are just disgusting.

I think that was a wig.

I never saw Hair and would not have recognized him anyway.

Nothing says sexy like crooked teeth, a cold sore, and a wig based on the shedding of Roger Daltry

When I Was young, my dad worked in what is now the Viacom building (back then it was the Minskoff Building) and knew all the Broadway producers. So I ended up seeing a lot of big musicals from backstage. The one I remember the most was The Pirates of Penzance, where Treat played the Pirate King and Robby Benson was Frederic. I met both but Treat was the one who made me realize I was a little homo. My god, the guy was so fucking sexy. Even more so in Smooth Talk. I SO wanted to be Laura Dern in that movie. HA

Pedo Stephen Collins played the part on Broadway and Rita Moreno said that Travolta also auditioned.

This must be some strange, new definition of "beautiful" I've never encountered before!

He was no treat to look at OP!

I remember when I was kid watching American Playhouse on PBS ( I was a weird kid) and seeing Treat's big bare ass as he walked naked up some stairs.

Would love to see it again but I'm not paying 20 bucks just to see his butt. Full frontal....MAYBE.

Eyes too close together, crooked teeth, thin lips, wide jaw......OP likes ugly men. I know this site has predominately white gay men.....but THIS? No. You need some standards OP.

Some us like real men not pasty hairless twinks.

Once discussed him (right after "Hair") with a younger Robert Osborne. Who said, "He doesn't have 'It'. Whatever 'It' is..." My feelings exactly.

I think he is real appeal.

Very sexy

He was beautiful!

....

Hippy dippy

He's an anti-Trumper. Good for him.

Always mixed him up with Brad Davis. Remember it now as Treat Williams--alive, Brad Davis--dead.

Super sexy

Does anyone else think Hollywood execs and audiences throughout the English-speaking world were turned off by the name.....Treat?

no, there are many worse names...

What's in a name?

Treat has but one trick

Treat is his middle name. His first is Richard. Maybe he didn't want people calling him Dick.

There were already a British and an American actor: Richard Bebb Williams, (1927–2006), English actor Dick Anthony Williams (1934–2012), American actor

He's a treat

sure was, but did he trick?

ZZZzzzz. It was already over by the time of "Prince of the City". Then throw in "D.B. Cooper" and... three strikes, you're out!

Good character actor, lousy leading man.

He was best friends with John Travolta.

R104, he was in "Over Here" with him and Marilu Henner. You can see them on the Tony Awards broadcast with Ann Reinking. And no, she doesn't sing.

Everwood (2002-2006) I was so jealous of Ephram I wanted Dr. Brown and Dr. Abbott to spit roast me

I’m gonna chase him

Did Travolta ever sample that treat?

Or did he trick him?

He was cute in 1941.

[quote]Treat is his middle name. His first is Richard. Maybe he didn't want people calling him Dick.

Hmmm. Dick Treat.

He probably used Treat instead of Richard to distinguish himself from any other actor named Richard Williams. Richard Williams is a very common name. Treat Williams, on the other hand, is unique.

....

Although some probably liked it, I think a career killer was when he took a piss on camera in "Hair."

I went to school with him. No gay rumors, and he was called Treat back in college, so he didn't change his name. Theater major, nice guy.

....

Me think you sexpot too

He's on a show now with fellow silver daddy Gregory Harrison.

....

Travolta made a move on him which ended their friendship.

bump

....

How largth ith hith thcock?

He's a man. He exuded masculinity. Granted, he's not for guys who like the trimmed, plucked, pumped and primped. But he was one of the best for many of us over 40.

40? 60...

I think we have a Treat Williams troll now.

Does he escort?

Maybe 40 years ago.

Did he really take a piss on camera? That's hot!

Yum, I could kiss and suck on him for hours.

Acquaintance said he knew him in college. Nice guy and straight. I think he is hot, butch, built. I"d hit and suck that.

....

Basic.

Funny r115, I know someone that went to Catholic with him and said that Treat "dabbled".

Maybe he still does.

bump

What's "Catholic" R134?

I assume it meant Catholic school. Treat must have started young.

God, I remember obsessing over him when he was on the cover of Newsweek when I was young. William Hurt, Elizabeth McGovern, and Treat Williams, the up-and-coming new generation of stars.

He was stunning in this photo.

He's totally my type.

I bet he received plenty of casting couch offers back in the day.

He has gay voice.

My first LTR was his freshman roommate at Franklin and Marshall. Told me he was straight. No way they wouldn't have screwed around as college roomies if Treat was open to experimenting .

Uhm, yuck

Maybe the roommate wasn't his type.

Is your troll ass blind?

His head looked like a Virginia ham with eyes.

....

He looks like Mason Reese if Mason had a normal growth spurt.

....

bump

....

No, he wasn't, even I couldn't carry his untalented ass.

Maybe "beautiful" is the wrong word in a literal sense. He looks "beautiful" if you allow yourself to be under his spell. He was immensely attractive and masculine with tonnes of S.A.

So it was cocaine that ended his rise?

Bump

UGLY!!!

Ugh - He looks like a muppet made out of a bathmat by a demented nana. Nice troll post!

The hair from the 60s... well, google it. It was all about the hair then. You just grew it out.. whatever it did. So.. the first photo gets a pass.

bump

Good he ugly. Cro-Magnon ug. Hard pass!

His voice is irritating as fuck. Pauline Kael commented on it in her review of the (boring) Prince of the City.

[quote] God, eldergays have the strangest taste.

Well, OP did say "Jesus"...as in, "Jesus, Treat looks like Jesus in this picture".
