Martin Sheen's Interview with "Theater Week"
December 9, 1991
Tony Randall selected 'The Crucible', which he considers an American classic, for his theater company's first production because Martin Sheen wanted to do it.
"Arthur Miller leaped in the air when he heard that Marty Sheen was to play the lead," Randall said. "He felt that the part was written for him."
Of his part, Sheen says, "John Proctor is probably the one character in American literature that is most like me. I adore him for his humanity, for his short-comings and for his struggle with the truth and his willingness to risk his life. I love him for that. I love Arther Miller. And I should have done this play fifteen years ago and I didn't then, so I must do it now."
