Between 1998 and 2004, Garson was part of the cast of the popular production during its six seasons, along with Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis and Kim Cattrall. His character, a close friend of the protagonist, Carrie, became a favorite with the public and grew in importance throughout the series until he starred in his own plot line through a romance with Broadway dancer Marcus Adant. “Willie Garson was in life, as on screen, a devoted friend and a shining light to all. (...) He created one of HBO's most beloved characters and was a member of our family for nearly 25 years. We are deeply saddened to learn of his passing," HBO said in a statement.
Sex and the City producer Michael Patrick King added: “His spirit and dedication to his craft were there every day on the set of And Just Like That.... He was there, giving us his all even when he was sick". The exact cause of death is unknown, although Garson received cancer treatment in recent years.

Garson also worked on White Collar, NYPD Blue, and Hawaii 5.0., but his star role was in Sex and the City, a production that was a hit with audiences and critics: it took three Golden Globes and an Emmy for best musical or comedy series, and made a world star out of Sarah Jessica Parker, Garson's real-life friend.
