Throughout his career, Garson had accumulated over 170 credits and even directed episodes of White Collar and Disney’s Girl Meets World.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Garson had an estimated worth of $10 million at the time of his death.

What type of cancer did Willie Garson have?
While his death was confirmed, a cause was not revealed but it has been reported that it came after a battle with cancer.
Garson’s son Nathan was one of the first to lead the tributes for the late actor calling his father, “the toughest and funniest and smartest person I’ve known.”
“I love you so much papa. Rest In Peace and I’m so glad you got to share all your adventures with me and were able to accomplish so much,” Nathen wrote alongside photos of Garson. “I’m so proud of you.”
“I will always love you, but I think it’s time for you to go on an adventure of your own,” Nathen continued. “You’ll always be with me. Love you more than you will ever know and I’m glad you can be at peace now. You always were the toughest and funniest and smartest person I’ve known. I’m glad you shared you’re love with me. I’ll never forget it or lose it

Bosh actor Titus Welliver added: “There are no words. I love you dead brother. We are fewer.”
At this time, it is still unknown what type of cancer Garson suffered from.
What did Willie Garson say about playing a gay character on Sex and the City?
On Sex and the City, Garson portrayed the role Stanford Blatch, one of TV’s most memorable gay characters.
In a 2020 interview with PageSix, Garson opened up about why he never liked talking about how he was actually straight in real life.
“For years I didn’t talk about it because I found it to be offensive to gay people,” Garson said. “People playing gay characters jumping up and down screaming that they’re not gay, like that would somehow be a bad thing if they were.”
Garson continued: “When the question would come up during the show I would say, ‘When I was on White Collar no one ever asked me if I was a conman, and when I was on NYPD Blue, nobody ever asked me if I was a murderer. This is what we do for a living, portray people,’”

Despite his successful career, Garson went on to reveal that his character put a damper on his dating life.
“At the beginning, you would approach someone at a bar and realize, ‘Oh, they want to be Stanford’s best friend.’ They don’t necessarily want to sleep with you,” he said.
While Garson never got married, he found great joy in being a father to Nathan, 19, who he adopted in Los Angeles back in 2009.
