SAD NEWS: Willie Garson, a fan favorite on Sex and the City and co-star of White Collar, has died after a battle with cancer. He was 57. "I love you so much papa," his son Nathen wrote on Instagram Tuesday evening. "Rest In Peace and I'm so glad you got to share all your adventures with me and were able to accomplish so much. I'm so proud of you." "I will always love you, but I think it's time for you to go on an adventure of your own," Nathen added. "You'll always be with me. Love you more than you will ever know and I'm glad you can be at peace now. You always were the toughest and funniest and smartest person I've known. I'm glad you shared you're love with me. I'll never forget it or lose it." Garson, born William Garson Paszamant, played Carrie Bradshaw's gay best friend in the HBO show "Sex and the City," which aired from 1998 to 2004. He also appeared in two movies based on the show in 2008 and 2010. He had recently been filming scenes for the show's reboot, titled, "And Just Like That." Although he is perhaps best known for his role as Stanford Blatch, Garson also appeared in several other television shows. He played Mozzie in the show "White Collar" from 2009 to 2014, and Gerald Hirsch in the reboot of "Hawaii Five-0." He had roles in "Wizards of Waverly Place," "Friends," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "CSI: Miami." He also appeared on the big screen in movies such as "Groundhog Day," "Freaky Friday" and "Little Manhattan." #peaceinparadise #rip #ripwilliegarson #williegarson #actor #sexinthecity #whitecollar https://www.instagram.com/p/CUG_0IZL36Q/?utm_medium=tumblr
