All of the actors in Shakespeare's day were men. Men and boys also played the women's parts. The most famous actor of Shakespeare's time was Edward Alleyn, lead actor in The Lord Admiral's Men. The next most famous was Richard Burbage, the leader of The Lord Chamberlain's Men. Richard Tarleton was a famous comic actor in the 1580s when he led Queen Elizabeth's Men at the Curtain Theatre. Will Kempe was another famous comic actor, originally with The Lord Chamberlain's Men and afterwards. John Lowin worked with Worcester's Men and afterwards with the King's Men, succeeding Burbage as leading man of that company. Gabriel Spenser was a controversial actor who worked with Pembroke's Men, the Admiral's Men, and maybe with the Chamberlain's Men, and who is most famous for being killed by Ben Jonson in a duel. Thomas Heywood was an actor with Worcester's Men also well known as a playwright. Christopher Beeston was a boy actor who went on to become an actor and later a director with Worcester's (later Queen Anne's) Men
