Turturro made his Broadway debut in 1985 in the play "Death of a Salesman" directed by Yale Repertory Theatre's artistic director, Robert Woodruff. He played the role of Happy Loman, the younger son of the protagonist Willy Loman, and received critical acclaim for his performance. Turturro's stage work continued with roles in "Danny and the Deep Blue Sea" and "The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui" before he transitioned to film and television.
