3. MAKE A CHART FOLLOWING THESE NOTES

You are a Hollywood producer and plan to produce a film version of Arthur Miller’s stage drama Death of a Salesman. Since Death of a Salesman is a personal favorite, you are very concerned about how true it is to Miller’s original vision. Therefore, you plan to oversee casting yourself. Using the CHARACTER CASTING CHART that follows, your job is to identify specific physical and psychological traits for the main characters in the novel. Then, choose a modern actor or actress for each character. In addition to physical and psychological characteristics, also think about how the actors you choose might interact with each other in various scenes.
