Additional Materials
'Glengarry Glen Ross'
Shelly
Levene: CAST. Male, around 60, any ethnicity. A washed-up real estate
salesman. Shelly "The Machine" Levene was successful years ago, but
recently has hit a streak of "bad luck" and finds himself in danger of
getting fired. He desperately wants to save his career which leads him
to disaster.
Ricky Roma: CAST. Male, early 40s, any ethnicity. A
big-shot real estate salesman. Roma is the top name on the board at his
office, which means he is currently the most successful salesman. It is
easy to see why he does better than the other men: he is smart,
charming, and ruthless. Rather than trying to force customers to submit
to his sales tactics, as the others do, he lures people into thinking
they want what he is selling.
John Williamson: CAST. Male, around
40, any ethnicity. The long-suffering manager of the real estate
office. Williamson's job is to oversee the operations of the office and
to assign the salesmen their leads. The salesmen naturally dislike him
because of his status as a "company man”, but Williamson is firm, fair
and honest in his dealings with them.
Dave Moss: CAST. Male, 50s,
any ethnicity. An angry real estate salesman. Moss harbors a great deal
of resentment toward the company. He tends to lash out angrily when
under pressure. His aggressive persistence makes him a more successful
salesman than Aaronow or Levene, but he has none of Roma's people
skills.
George Aaronow: CAST. Male, around 70, any ethnicity. A
failing real estate salesman. Aaronow is humble, the kindest of the
salesmen. And the least successful. Possibly losing his grip on reality.
Like Levene, Aaronow is not on the board and is in immediate danger of
getting fired – which he dreads.
James Lingk: CAST. Male, around
40, any ethnicity. An amiable, decent man and the target for one of
Roma’s sales. He is newly married and trying to navigate married life
and the business world. He becomes entranced by Roma’s pitch but then
regrets acting so hastily.
Baylen: Male, 50s or older, any
ethnicity. A tough police detective. He investigates the robbery at the
office. He has a direct manner that puts him in conflict with the
salesman even as they are wary of his investigation. Will understudy
Williamson.
