Excerpt -

The subtlest footnote of all, though, is the casting of J. T. Walsh as Wing, the vindictive boss of an aluminum siding company. Theatergoers may well remember that Mr. Walsh played an almost identical character, Williamson, in David Mamet's ''Glengarry Glen Ross.'' The one difference is that there he ran a real-estate office.

Mr. Levinson saw ''Glengarry'' on Broadway - but on a night Mr. Walsh was out of the cast. It was Lou DiGiamo, the casting director for ''Tin Men,'' who remembered Mr. Walsh in the role and invited him to read for Wing. And for Mr. Walsh, whose theater credits include the Al Pacino ''Richard III'' and the first New York production of Mr. Mamet's ''American Buffalo,'' ''Tin Men'' offered that rare quality in modern American film: literacy.

''I was a little bit in awe of Barry's ability,'' Mr. Walsh said of the writer-director. '' 'Tin Men' is much more complicated than the usual movie. It's intelligent. The rhythms of the language are real. I thought, 'This movie may not make any money, but it'll be fun to do.' ''

But for the time being, Mr. Walsh said, he's through with playing the mean boss. In Mr. Mamet's forthcoming film, ''The House of Games,'' he portrays a con man. ''Besides,'' he said, ''my blue suit's wearing out.''
