Willy Loman Awaits. Moments before I join the world of DEATH OF A SALESMAN, I sit in this most precious moment in my dressing room, connected to that small fraternity of men who have played the role on Broadway in its 70 year history. Lee J. Cobbs, George C. Scott, Dustin Hoffman, Brian Dennehy, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Humbled and honored to join this select few.
