- Earl Of Richmond: (in RICHARD III) Male 20s-30s. Gathers a force to oppose Richard for the crown. Good looking with a hard edge. Ambitious. Ruthless in his way. His talk of goodness is spin.
- Bertram Cates : (in INHERIT THE WIND) Male 20s-30s. A young science teacher who has been arrested and put on trial for teaching his students Darwin’s theory of evolution. A curious, soft-spoken, humble man who is skeptical when it comes to the breadth of human knowledge.

- Kind Edward IV: (in RICHARD III) Male late 30s-mid 50s. King of England and older brother to Richard and Clarence. Overthrew the previous regime, but seeks reconciliation. Self pitying. Guilty conscience.
- Judge: (in INHERIT THE WIND) Male late 30s-mid 50s. The judge presiding over the Cates’s trial. Despite his personal beliefs about the Bible’s legitimacy, he tries to remain impartial.
Actor 3:

- Rachel: (in INHERIT THE WIND) Female 20s-30s. The daughter of Rev. Brown and a close friend and fellow colleague of Bertram Cates. Their relationship borders on romantic. She is caught between her allegiance to her father and her feelings for Bertram.
