[a fool in paradise]

Billy Dee Williams has been asked how did he prepare for playing Lando. What in his life experiences did be bring to it. He said that it would be nothing like his life, it’s a whole other world. His role model was Errol Flynn and other pirate actors. Black has nothing to do with it.

Of course, and I agree with you. But regardless, that was the effect it had on one young impressionable fellow.

Hopefully his impression of Lando improved after the next episode. :-) I'll never know, since our lives parted company.
