Hollywood is reeling after beloved “Everwood” actor Treat Williams died in a shocking motorcycle crash Monday in Vermont.
The 71-year-old actor had played TV movie and episodic roles in recent years, and he had accepted a key part in Ryan Murphy’s “Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans,” reports Deadline.
The upcoming FX miniseries, an adaptation of Laurence Leamer’s bestselling book “Capote’s Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era,” follows the eccentric author from the mid-1970s until Truman Capote’s death in 1984.
Williams is playing former CBS head Bill Paley alongside Naomi Watts, Molly Ringwald, Tom Hollander and several other high-profile celebrities.
The Post reached to Williams’ rep, Murphy and FX for comment.
According to the “Hair” star’s IMDB page, Williams was also set to appear in the upcoming series “Nightbirds” and the film “American Outlaws,” based on the true story of three siblings who perpetuated a cross-country crime spree in 2011.
Before his stunning death, Williams posted a video to his Instagram that was captioned “Hay day.”

Fans and celebrities have been offering their condolences on social media since news of Williams’ death broke Monday.
“5 hours ago you were sharing your beautiful home with us & now we have lost you. Sending love to your loved ones. Godspeed,” one person wrote.
