Frederick Weller Eyes Part in Glengarry Revival

Frederick Weller is in talks to appear as office manager John Williamson in the spring Broadway revival of David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross, according to Variety. He would appear alongside previously reported stars Alan Alda and Liev Schreiber.

Weller has appeared on Broadway in Six Degrees of Separation, The Rehearsal, The Little Foxes and Take Me Out. His off-Broadway credits include The Shape of Things, Curtains for which he won an Obie Award, The Country Club and Plunge. His film credits include Basquiat, Armageddon, Stonewall, The Business of Strangers and the big screen adaptation of The Shape of Things.

Glengarry Glen Ross centers on a competitive group of real estate salesmen who've gotten more than a little desperate during the reign of Reaganomics. The play won the 1984 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, had a successful run at Broadway's Golden Theatre from March 16, 1984 through February 17, 1985, and was made into an acclaimed 1992 film.
