Who Should Play Andrew Garfield's Brother Happy in Broadway's Death of a Salesman Reboot?

One of the grimmest plays of the 20th century, Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, is returning to Broadway with Mike Nichols as director and a star-studded cast next spring: Oscar-winner Philip Seymour Hoffman is slated to play the tragic protagonist Willy Loman, Linda Emond will play his wife, and Social Network Perkins doppelganger Andrew Garfield will play Willy’s son Biff, which makes perfect sense because Garfield has the Malkovichian hair flip. That leaves Willy’s other son Happy up for casting. Who should it be? I’m not Justin Timberlake’s biggest fanatic, but if we’re basing the casting on resemblance to the part in the 1985 Death of a Salesman TV movie (as opposed to the ‘51 flick with Fredric March), he’s not a bad proxy for Stephen Lang. Plus, that’d be a stellar, dialogue-based revamp of their camaraderie in The Social Network, right? They’d both look darling in old-timey football sweaters too. They’d be such dashing disappointments to Willy! · ‘Death Of A Salesman’ Coming To Broadway With ‘Spider-Man’s Andrew Garfield In Stellar Cast [Deadline]
