Meet the Cast

Juror #1, Foreman (Martin Balsam)

Juror #1 seems like a soft-spoken person who's willing to assert himself when he needs to. He makes a decent effort at trying to keep the other jurors in order because as Juror #1, he is also the j...

Juror #2 (John Fiedler)

So, Juror #2 is kind of a squeaky voiced dude who's pretty shy about sharing his opinions. He tends to vote with the group and isn't very good at explaining himself whenever he's put on the spot. W...

Juror #3 (Lee J. Cobb)

Big MeanieIf you have to pick a main antagonist for this movie, Juror #3 is your man. We can tell from early in this movie that #3 is a guy who's rigid in his opinions and not used to having people...

Juror #4 (E.G. Marshall)

Kind of a RobotOf all the jurors, #4 is the nearest to a robot. The guy doesn't even sweat when all the other guys have made their shirts see-through. He's pretty convinced of a Guilty verdict in t...

Juror #5 (Jack Klugman)

The main thing we know about Juror #5 is that he grew up in a slum—and he's not especially fond of people who think everyone who comes out of a slum is a thief or a murderer. He's quick to defend...

Juror #6 (Edward Binns)

Juror #6 is probably the most invisible juror of the entire bunch. He only has a handful of lines in the movie, and he tends to come across as a guy who's willing to change his mind if people can c...

Juror #7 (Jack Warden)

The most important thing to know about Juror #7 is that he doesn't really care about justice and wants to reach a verdict ASAP so he can get to a baseball game. This is pretty much the first thing...

Juror #8 (Henry Fonda)

Solid HeroJuror #8 is a dude who cares about justice and is willing to stand up against a crowd to do what he thinks is right. In the beginning, we're not really sure what his deal is, because he s...

Juror #9 (Joseph Sweeny)

Sitting beside Juror #8, Juror #9 shows us throughout this movie that he's a strong believer in justice and sympathy. The first thing we notice about him, though, is that he's much older than the o...

Juror #10 (Ed Begley)

The main things you need to know about Juror #10 are that he has a bad cold and that he's a total racist. The first taste we get of his prejudice comes when he tells Juror #7, "It's tough to figure...

Juror #11 (George Voskovec)

This dude is the only foreigner in the group of jurors, which might be the reason why he seems to appreciate their democratic rights and freedoms more than anyone else. For example, when some of th...

Juror #12 (Robert Webber)

Juror #12 is kind of a strange bird. One of the first things we learn about him is that he works in the advertising industry; as he says to another juror, "You know, in advertising... I told you I...

The Judge (Rudy Bond)

The judge only has one rambling speech in the movie, and it goes something like this: "To continue, you've listened to a long and complex case, murder in the first degree. Premeditated murder is th...
