Shakespeare And the Players (via life in the present)
Shakespeare and the Players is a survey through postcards of the many now unfamiliar English and American actors who played Shakespeare's characters for late Victorian and Edwardian audiences.
Snarkout: The most secret method contains a link-fest of theatrical history and acting from full-sinew'd swordplay to motivated nuance.

On the list of 'Players' there is a link on the bottom for the 'unidentified actor'. When you click on it there is no information. Which begs the philosophical question, 'If a Shakespearean actor is unidentified did he ever exist?'

Hmmm... Maybe he or she played the Ghost and had transmogrification issues. A proto-Method actor?
Interesting that the related photo shows the Unidentified cast in A Comedy of Errors...

I did notice that too. We know exactly who they are but we are too lazy to ask them their names.
