Broadway’s ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’ Boasts Bob Odenkirk, Kieran Culkin & Bill Burr But Has No Leading Actor, Tony Committee Says


Stars Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk and Bill Burr are eligible in the featured actor slot, the Tony equivalent of a Supporting Actor Oscar.

The ruling is a bit surprising given that all three names are listed above the show title in the Playbill program’s Glengarry Glen Ross credits page, an indication of leading actor status. A fourth bold-name star of the show is Michael McKean, whose performance of sadsack George Aaronow is a below-the-title role so would would likely automatically go in the featured actor slot, with no input from the committee needed. Among the other slightly curious rulings were for Operation Mincemeat, in which a five-person ensemble cast – all listed below the title in Playbill – play numerous characters.
