Patrick Stewart "sorta" played him when Picard portrayed him with Data on a holodeck.

What you posted is factually correct, but the others didn't play him. I can honestly say this is not ANY of the characters written by that author, for that matter. However, he is definitely a contemporary of those plays (Henry V, etc.)
I presume you italicized Joseph Fiennes for emphasis, but I'm still lost.

Yes, Mrs Wolf thought he was the giveaway for anyone besides her and myself. BTW, if you examine the other 2 posts on this page where I did NOT list actors, you might be able to figure out "this character" without having even one actor's name. If you still can't name it, that's on you. The fault would lie not in your stars, but rather in yourself.
Rowan Schlosberg played him on "Legends of Tomorrow." David Mitchell plays him in "Upstart Crow", which I think is a hysterical show. Patrick Stewart did the voice for a Will Shakespeare in "Gnomeo and Juliet." Joseph Fiennes was the "Shakespeare in Love." Robert "Mike Brady" Reed played him on "Fantasy Island"- he actually did quite a bit of Shakespeare in his day. And so on.

I suddenly omitted the name of the author of the plays. (Why?) The plays are contemporary to the playwright who wrote them, of course.

"This character" was in quotes, so there's something odd about calling him a "character." WS wrote, in "Julius Caesar", that "the fault, dear Brutus, lies not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings." I know you don't know lines from "Hamlet" nor "Romeo and Juliet", so I tried a different play.

He was looking for it to use as a clue in a game round a few weeks after he was looking for it. Meanwhile, I hope he posts the next one soon.

Refreshing the page after submitting works, too. George

Well ... yeah. I was about 15 when it came out. (Saw it a couple of years later, when I was in college.) Fonda DID win the Best Actress Oscar for the performance. George

No. Wrong era. And not as well-known as the "character" we're looking for.

Yeah, but when you said he was contemporary with Henry V, particularly, it threw me off.

There's 2 Norman Bates' I know. Skipping the obvious one, let's go with "VINCE VAUGHN."

That's it. I was afraid that including that on the first round would be too easy.
That which I feared...

I seem to remember that Orson Bean voiced a cartoon character, but I don't remember which one.

That's a shame, but I'm glad you remembered something. At the least, I thought it would ring a familiar bell.
(No, this character had nothing to do with bells, AFAIK.)
