David Levi to Make Stage Debut in DEATH OF A SALESMAN Off-Broadway

Film and TV actor David Levi is ready for the challenge the part of 'Happy' in Death of a Salesman brings. Ernest Barzaga has created a platform where young artists like him can use Arthur Miller's masterpiece as a way to express their own angst.

This is David's professional stage debut and a prime opportunity to emerge as a serious actor.

David Levi was born into an arts family in an artistic neighborhood. Raised in Greenwich Village, David, the son of a documentary filmmaker father, was surrounded by family and friends who worked in creative fields. He was immersed in a culture of cinematic and artistic endeavors from an early age.

He began professionally acting at the age 9, when he starred in The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie. Picked up by Nickelodeon and converted into a television series, it centered on the adventures of a famous rock band comprised entirely of preteen musicians. The series was a success and ran for multiple seasons.

With more and more young people attaining higher degrees but unable to find comparable employment after graduation, the message of Death of a Salesman still hits as a powerful cord. Reminiscent of Dustin Hoffman's 1985 teleplay, this production is re-imagined with young actors portraying the iconic Loman Family including traveling salesman, Willy Loman, who takes his family - and the audience - on a surreal journey filled with flashbacks from his crumbling mind. We witness the painful end of his career ... and of a nationwide ideal.
