Answer 1: It was Sir Geoffery Coersiern. Most notable for his performance of Shakespeares first play One Summer Night. (In case you didn't spot it, this one's the joke answer).

Answer 2: There were a few famous actors in the time of Shakespeare. I think Richard Burbage was then known as the greatest Elizabethan actor of that era. He played Othello, Hamlet, and King Lear. Then there were others, one was Will Kemp, famous for being a comic actor, and also Robert Armin, who played a Fool in King Lear, and a clown in Twelfth Night.

Answer 3: But even more famous than Burbage was Edward Alleyn who was the star actor of the Admiral's Men (Shakespeare's competition) for many years.

Richard Tarleton was the top comedian before Will Kemp. Tarleton was the star of Queen Elizabeth's Men (before Shakespeare's time).
The most famous actor of Shakespeare's day was Edward Alleyn, also called Ned Alleyn, who was the lead actor in the acting Company The Lord Admiral's Men and a close associate of Henslowe. The next most famous actor was the chief actor in Shakespeare's company, Richard Burbage. These two played the main roles in many of the great plays of the day: Alleyn played Tamburlaine and Faustus; Burbage played Hamlet and Henry V.

There were also famous comic actors. Richard Tarleton was an early famous clown who played with Queen Elizabeth's Men. Will Kempe was a famous clown who was also a member of Shakespeare's company for a time.
