- The Characters of 'Twelve Angry Men' Instead of organizing the jurors in numeric order, the characters are listed here in the order they decide to vote in favor of the defendant.
- Juror #8. He votes “not guilty” during the jury’s first vote. Described as "thoughtful" and "gentle," Juror #8 is usually portrayed as the most heroic member of the jury.
- Juror #9. Juror #9 is described in the stage notes as a “mild gentle old man... defeated by life and... waiting to die.” Despite this bleak description, he is the first to agree with Juror #8, deciding that there is not enough evidence to sentence the young man to death and becomes more and more sure of himself as the play proceeds.
- Juror #5. This young man is nervous about expressing his opinion, especially in front of the elder members of the group. In Act One, his allure makes others believe that he is the one who changed his mind during the secret vote.
