Rick Foucheux

 

• On his role as Willy Loman in Arena Stage’s Death of a Salesman
• Interviewed by Joel Markowitz

 ”It was a dream come true.” Rick Foucheux says of the opportunity to be in this production of Death of a Salesman and to walk in the shoes of Arthur Miller’s tragic embodiment of the American Dream.  “The magic of theatre is that it holds a mirror up to ourselves … I approach each role as if I was in a brand new play.”  How far does an actor go to create a fresh approach to a character?  This consummate actor takes us on his journey.

Rick finds a surprising connection between his Tevye (Olney’s Fiddler on the Roof) and Willy, and gives us an actor’s appreciation of Arena Stage’s new Crystal City space.

A thoughtful and thought-provoking interview.  Listen here.
