YES. A perfect guest for the Star Wars fans (me included) for this year at FACTS.
The celebration of TESB can't be better with Billy Dee as a guest.
And he makes up for a great deal that previous year we hadn't a Star Wars actor.
Thanks FACTS!!!

Very soon because FACTS 2010 is only 3 weeks away from us let's hope is very soon so I can plan accordingly, like buying posters for signatures or having plates made with engraved names (I do that for some actors so I can have thoses signed and can put those plate in front of collectibles), so please reveal some names, I can't wait to see what you have in store for us |

I'm a huge Star Wars fan, so this is very exiting, but I'm also excited as an enormous Lost fan; let's not forget, Billy Dee Williams is the only actor who played as "himself" on Lost. |

Yes but, he didn't really act himself throughout the show. he was a mere cameo. SO I don't make it count as a lost actor. because he played himself on top of that.
