Unfortunately it was not common in Shakespeare's day to keep records of what actor played what part in any plays. We are fortunate in that Ben Jonson made a record of the actors who played in his plays Sejanus and Every Man in His Humour, and Shakespeare appeared in both those plays, although the record does not show what part he played. The First Folio also lists actors who played in Shakespeare's plays, including Shakespeare, but not who played in which play nor what part they took.
