Death Of A Salesman Cast

Death Of A Salesman is a very interesting piece of literature. I found the works to be a little confusing at times but it was enjoyable over all. If I was in charge of casting the movie version of "Death of a Salesman" I would use the following actors or actresses: Robin Williams, Deidre Hall, David Gregory, and Nic Robuck.

Robin Williams would play the role of Willy. Willy is an older man who has worked his whole life as a salesman and all he wanted was to give his family a good life. Through out the play Willy shows a tender side when he shows his love and appreciation for his wife, he also shows a concerned side when he expresses his concern for his children's lives, and he also shows this angry side when he goes off into his random talks and things of that nature. Robin Williams has been know to play many different roles in many different movies such as Patch Adams, Flubber, Jumanji, and Mrs. Doubtfire. Robin Williams is a well rounded actor and I believe he would play the role of Willy perfectly.

Deidre Hall is an actress who is a star on the soap opera Days Of Our Lives and she plays the character of Marlena. Marlena is a sweet woman who loves her family and adores her husband John Black and stands by him through out the good and the bad. I consider Deidre Hall to be the best fit for the part of Linda. Linda is a loving mother as well as a wife and she views her husbands as the best man on earth and she stands by him through out their life together and she never views him in a negative way. Deidre Hall plays a role similar to this in the show Days Of Our Lives; therefore, she is the best actress to participate in this roll.

David Gregory and Nic Robuck were both actors on the show One Life To Live and they played the role of brothers. David played the role of Ford who was the oldest brother of three. Nic played the role of the middle brother, James. Ford had left James back in their hometown because Ford wanted to pursue his acting career. Ford felt guilty for leaving James and when James eventually found Ford, they lived together and built a nice life together. In the play Death Of A Salesman, there are the two brothers, Happy and Biff. I would cast David Gregory as Biff because he has experience with playing the older brother and in the play Biff is very hostile to his father and Ford had many hostile moments with his abusive father on the show One Life To Live. Nic would play the role of Happy for three reasons. The first is that Nic has had experience being the younger brother, secondly like Happy Nic tries to be the peacemaker and make everyone happy just like Happy seemed to do, and lastly I would choose Nic for this role because not only was he handsome but he had wonderful ideas just like Happy did at the end of the play.
