EurWeb reports that Billy Dee Williams will take to the stage in May playing a mentor in "The Maintenance Man". Here's an excerpt from the site:

Billy Dee Williams appears in the stage play "The Maintenance Man" based on Michael Baisden’s bestselling book by the same title. Williams plays the role of Melvin. Melvin is a mentor to a young male escort (played by Darius McCrary) who discovers that he is in love.

Williams knows that he is perfect for the role of player -mentor. "The kids all regard me, no matter where I go, as the original player," he said. "So that’s the juncture that I’m at, at this particular time."

"I was always a pretty wild kid when it came to the ladies but those things are not necessary anymore - which is good. It means that I’ve finally grown up," he said with a laugh.
