Willie Garson (born William Garson Paszamant) was an American actor, best known for his role as Stanford Blatch in the original series of Sex and the City. The popular HBO series first aired in 1998 and ran for six seasons. He also appeared in the follow-up films, Sex and the City, and Sex and the City 2.
