Julius Caesar
Played by Ciaran Hinds
In a strict class-ridden society, Caesar descends from one of the oldest and noblest of patrician families. Energetic, brilliant, methodical, he is a man driven-electrified even-by a primordial need for dominance. He has very little room for regular human emotions; he can be witty and charming or warm and caring, but these qualities are always performances, produced as needed and rarely prompted by genuine feeling.
