Casting for Death of a Salesman would be so, if I were casting director:
Sean Connery would play Willy Loman. He is a great choice for this role because Willy feels like he has not made a difference, and he feels like he can never make a difference. Also, Willy is an older man who has been through the process of raising a family, and Connery's appearance would display such an experience.
Robert Downey, Jr. would play Biff. Downey plays confusing characters remarkably well, and throughout the first Act Biff seems confused about himself; he continually seeks to find the truth within himself and who he really is. Downey's erratic roles such as Sherlock Holmes and Iron Man would allow him the ability to play Biff remarkably well.
Jason Bateman would play Happy. His annoying personality throughout his movies would grant him the ability to play this static character. He seems to be forced to live in his brother's shadow, and because of that situation he never seems to come to the realization that he is his own person. Thus, Bateman would easily play Happy because he cannot really act out change in his characters well.
Bonnie Hunt would play Linda. She is very motherly and attempts to keep the peace throughout the first act. Hunt, who plays the mother in Cheaper by the Dozen, keeps the peace within the family throughout the entire movie.
