Walter Lee Younger

He is a lean, intense young man in his middle thirties, inclined to quick nervous movements and erratic speech habits and always in his voice there is a quality of indictment. His motivation is Travis and his family respect; he wants to be the man of the house and the provider. He is very insecure about himself and he has no confidence on himself so he wants to feel good by making others feel bad. He is also a chauffeur for a rich man. As he says “gamble big, win big.” Also the most important thing which he said at the end when he stood up for himself against Lindner was “we are very proud people. And that’s my sister over there and she’s going to be a doctor and we are very proud...This is my son, and he makes the sixth generation of our family in this country…we have decided to move into our house because my father earned it for us brick by brick…we don’t want your money.” I picked Albert Rice who plays the role of Eddie Murphy on the film Norbit to play Walter Lee Younger role, I think that the role in the play and in the movie that this different actors had to play are very similar and I think is a good idea if Albert Rice plays this role.
