Character Role Analysis

Juror #8

Juror #8 is smart, sympathetic, and strong of character—plus, he's a good role model for anyone looking to learn how to be a good leader in a democratic environment. For starters, he never takes it for granted that other people will agree with him. But he also never wavers on his belief in justice, which is what makes him such a compelling hero. In fact, he makes such a good hero that the American Film Institute named him the 28th best movie hero ever.

Take that, General George Patton.
