Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Two adaptations of 12 Angry Men came 40 years apart and feature a diverse group of actors who put their spin on the famous jurors. Originally a teleplay written by Reginald Rose, 12 Angry Men follows a group of jurors that deliberate on the fate of an accused murderer facing the death penalty if given a unanimous guilty verdict.
Aside from 12 Angry Men, Webber's 40-year-long career consisted of multiple TV and film roles. He starred in films alongside iconic figures at the time, like Paul Newman in the mystery film Harper and Dean Martin in the spy comedy, The Silencers. Unlike Webber, Petersen's most well-known role isn't as Juror 12 but is Gil Grissom in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, for which he was awarded a Screen Actors Guild Award as part of the ensemble cast.
The difference between the two isn't because of their acting, but the way changes in each film's script and cast allow race to push their argument forward. The "othering" Begley's Juror 11 does is obvious, but with the diverse group of jurors in the 1997 version, Williamson's Juror 11 has a moment where he's speaking directly to the other Black jurors, hoping to win them over with an "us" against "them" argument.
Lemmon's speech sounds irritable at times, but Fonda's makes Juror 8's sense of justice more believable. This portrayal is in line with Fonda's other work throughout his career, playing enough likable characters that his unimaginable casting as the villain in Once Upon a Time in the West was magnetic and worked well. He also starred in The Grapes of Wrath and Young Mr. Lincoln.
Binns' film and television career began after acting on Broadway and he was featured in several projects, including, Patton and The Verdict alongside his 12 Angry Men co-star, Jack Warden. Gandolfini is known for portraying a range of characters on-screen and on stage, but his most prominent role is Tony Soprano from The Sopranos. Tony Soprano remains one of the most beloved and talked about TV characters and for his performance as Tony, Gandolfini won three Emmy Awards.
4 Juror 4 E. G. Marshall & Armin Mueller-Stahl Close As one of the more rational jurors in terms of his tone of speech, Juror 4 is largely focused on facts. E. G. Marshall and Armin Mueller-Stahl match one another in their calm and collected delivery, retelling the order of events sequentially. Juror 4 is sure of his stance because, to him, the testimony from the trial is undeniable when taking it as is.
