Tributes are pouring in for the Sex And The City star following his passing at the age of 57 after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
Garson will always be remembered for his larger-than-life portrayal of talent agent Stanford Blatch, the close friend, and confidante of Sarah Jessica Parker's character Carrie Bradshaw. He reprised the role in the two Sex And The City films and had been working on the HBO Max spin-off series And Just Like That.
His co-stars and peers took to Twitter to pay tribute and salute his contribution to the industry.
Kim Cattrall, who played Samantha Jones, tweeted: "Such sad news and a terribly sad loss to the SATC family. Our condolences and RIP dear Willie xo."
