The actors in Shakespeare's company were not different. They consisted of a lead actor (Richard Burbage), a clown (Will Kempe and later Robert Armin), a number of regular sharers or partners (including Shakespeare, John Heminges and Henry Condell), a number of men who were hired for the particular production, and boy apprentices who played children and women. Note that there were no actresses; that was forbidden by law. However, Shakespeare's company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, were no different from any other company of the time, such as the Lord Admiral's Men or Worcester's Men in this respect.
