Foreman

The foreman is described in the author's notes to the play as “a small, petty man who is impressed with the authority he has.” The foreman tries to run the meeting in an orderly fashion, but in the film he is too sensitive and sulks when his attempt to stick to the way they had agreed to proceed is questioned. His contribution to the deliberations comes when they are discussing how long the killer would have taken to get downstairs.
