Williams did it as favour to Barry levinson. His star turn apparently saved the series from cancellation.

Duvall had an innate sense of how to physically embody a character in terms of body language, posture and gestures. I didn’t even notice that he didn’t duck for cover first time I saw Apocalypse Now. If felt completely right that Kilgore wouldn’t flinch or be put out by explosions as he was war.

Frederick Wiseman, a director whose rigorously objective explorations of social and cultural institutions constitute one of the more revered bodies of work in American documentary filmmaking, died on Monday. He was 96. nyti.ms/4qGpq55

Frederick Wiseman, 96, Penetrating Documentarian of Institutions, Dies
He exposed abuses in films like “Titicut Follies,” a once-banned portrait of a mental hospital, but ranged widely in subject matter, from a Queens neighborhood to a French restaurant.

RIP Frederick Wiseman and thank you for your films. Great filmmaker and a giant of an example of what it means to maintain full control over your creative work. Bought these from his distribution company Zipporah Films that he created to distribute his own documentaries. Love and respect.
