Best Answer

All acting companies in Shakespeare's day had a permanent roster of players. Shakespeare did not write a play and then choose the actors for it; he had the actors and wrote the play for them. It is possible to see the difference between the parts written for Will Kempe when he was the company funnyman and the parts written for Robert Armin when he replaced Kempe.
