Not usually; such an action is not required of him, although a director might well have him examining a skull if he wanted to. This situation is quite different from Hamlet, who is often portrayed as holding a skull because he is required by the script to hold and examine the skull of the jester Yorick while delivering the famous lines "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio." Vindice in Thomas Middleton's play The Revenger's Tragedy is also required by the script to hold the skull of his murdered girlfriend.
