12 Character Archetypes Every Actor Should Know

In this video, I will examine 12 character archetypes that every actor should know. These archetypes are derived from psychiatrist Carl Jung's famous archetypes and adapted by Carol Pearson and Margaret Mark.
These 12 basic archetypes essentially encompass almost every character from literature, film, television, and theater. Each character can embody aspects from a few different types or a character can change from one archetype to another over the course of the plot.
Each of these character types is represented in the Hero's Journey as well as in the tarot. Most stock characters derive from a combination of these archetypes. In the video, I explain in-depth each character's traits, as well as, their fears and weaknesses. I give examples of characters from film, television, theater, and animation for each archetype.

[@AugmentedActor]

If you had to choose an archetype that your personality fits the most, which one would it be?

[@j.d.s8942]

I would like to be a Rebel man... That's me most of the time...

[@AugmentedActor]

I play a lot of rebels and a lot of creator types.

[@Tacospaceman]

I seem to fit the joker a bit too much, and I also fit into the lover, and the creator. But I am not a hero type like I thought I was at all. Does this mean I should work more towards those types of roles?

[@AugmentedActor]

If you tend to get cast as those types then I would definitely focus on those kinds of roles and maybe target your head shots and other marketing materials toward those types as well. Just remember that often scripts play around with unexpected types. Sometimes the Joker ends up being the hero. Sometimes the lover turns into the orphan. Watch my other video on discovering your character type for more info.

[@Tacospaceman]

Augmented Actor I’m actually in voice acting, I’ve never been on camera, and again I’m just starting out, so I’ve been putting out tons of auditions doing the best I can, but I didn’t know I was auditioning for roles I probably wouldn’t be cast for. I’ve been a theatre actor for 7 or 8 plays, and I always payed the wacky characters, mad hatter etcetra and I wanted to say thank you for the good info

[@adeoayoola]

For a fiction writer, this is literary gold.

[@JaredLB1990]

Wow! I love how you provided a plethora of examples. One problem I have with most people, when they describe archetypes, is that they'll give like two examples and I'm a very mentally complex person, so I get lost a lot, but the way you provide pictures, descriptions, and titles really helps to paint a better picture as to how each archetype works. Great video.

[@AugmentedActor]

Wow. Thanks, Jared for the nice comment. I’m glad the examples were clear.

[@bobby4360]

Great job !

[@AugmentedActor]

Thanks!

[@Beeso]

Thank you for the video, nice concise list. The types I can either strongly relate to, recognize in myself (present or past) and/or get described as by those who know me well: Sage, Innocent, explorer, lover, creator, rebel, a bit of the joker, Orphan/everyman. The rest like Ruler, magician, hero and caregiver not as strongly (outside the realm of imagination and fantasy that is, because in that i can be anything :) ). The only exception to all that is I have often enjoyed physicality/sports and I do have at least some athletic capacity.

[@AugmentedActor]

It seems like we are all made up of a lot of different types and each type expresses itself a bit more during different stories in our lives.

[@allih9871]

this was awesome

[@AugmentedActor]

Thank you!!

[@Testosterone_Messiah]

Dude, I fucking luv this video. You can't imagine how many times I've viewed it. A lot of wisdom in what you're explaining.

[@staciehart4364]

Great video. Nice edit with the comment about the character who can't read the room as you cut to a picture of Melissa McCarthy in Bridesmaids.

[@AugmentedActor]

Yes! That was a moment that sort of fell into place when I mixed up the images for each section. :-)

[@siennabeaton9292]

Omg when I saw that picture of Merlin it brought back so many memories!😭😭 I love that show

[@AugmentedActor]

I, too, had lots of memories pop up when I was finding all the source images for this video.

[@davidhealy123]

I myself grow into more types as i grow older (mentor, explorer, ruler) but mostly i know that im the joker moreso than any others. And creator. Nice video with the visual examples and everything. Two thumbs up!

[@AugmentedActor]

Aw thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah it does seem like you grow into and out of certain types of roles. Some seem to require a little life experience. I always gravitate toward creator and joker. But also am feeling more Sage as I get older.

[@davidhealy123]

​@@AugmentedActor Is it not inevitable for every single person to evolve into a sage simply because of life experience and all that? Then who is truly "the sage" at that point. What about a story full of sages where nothing gets done.. '12 Santas of Christmas', a musical.

[@AugmentedActor]

Haha. That’s actually a Fantastic idea. Have 12 of the same type and try to make riveting drama.

[@roisinnigcrainn7722]

I can't choose just one! My only acting experience has been in Ruler/Orphan-type roles, but after a few years' hiatus, I want to come back into some Magician/Rebel roles.

[@AugmentedActor]

It’s nice to have a variety. We are all combinations of all these archetypes, some just come easier than others.

[@roisinnigcrainn7722]

@@AugmentedActor I definitely agree!

This is gold fused with diamond!!

[@AugmentedActor]

Hope you do well too. Glad it helped you out.

[@SussieMellstedt]

Easy and fun way to learn. :) Hard to pick one, I'd pick TheMagician/TheInnocent/TheSage

[@AugmentedActor]

I know it is hard to choose just one. I think characters fall more easily into one archetype, but I think humans are made up of multiple types.

[@nicholascauton9648]

In video games, I usually enjoy being the warrior-type. In both sci-fi and fantasy settings. But in real life, I tend to be more on the creative side. Especially since I’m currently editing a book I just finished recently called “The Road Ranger.” The story is about a former army ranger coming home after six years of fighting outside of his country’s borders. However after just one day, his mother is assassinated right outside of court and when the police won’t look into his dilemma, he decides to go off the rails by finding the suspect himself. And as you can imagine, there are certain action events that can get quite violent. There are three main characters that are not only relevant to the story but eventually come together to form a power trio. The characters in question are Matt Santos/The Road Ranger, Agent Maria Garcia, and Teenage Techie Miz. Matt Santos (a.k.a. The Road Ranger) is the brawn/muscle of the trio. Although he’s not a meathead by any means, he tends to excel in combat due to his experience in the army rangers. The reason why he earned the name “The Road Ranger” is because of his killing spree of criminals along with his military-style full-body combat outfit as well as the weapons he carries which normally consist of an M4 Carbine, a Glock 17 Pistol, and an M67 Frag Grenade. His talent for combat is both a strength and a weakness for him. By that I mean towards his enemies (which are usually criminals of the murderous kind), he is incredibly unforgiving. In his eyes, evil should be punished severely. Whether it be by death or by injury. In short, he believes the murderers should die and the thieves should be crippled. Maria Garcia is without a doubt the beauty of the trio. At first she becomes a romantic interest for Matt Santos as he brought flowers for her in court early in the story but eventually becomes sympathetic to Matt’s tragedy that he suffered, temporarily becomes an antagonist, but comes around to becoming an ally once she finds out that her superiors in the FBI were corrupt to the core. Due to her training in the FBI, she displays a fair balance of brawn and brains but she does not necessarily excel in either fields. She is eventually seen wearing a desert operator tactical outfit which is a sleeveless and lightweight version of Matt’s combat outfit. Besides this, she usually rocks a Glock 19 as her preferred weapon but does know how to use other guns in line with her FBI training. In addition to this, she prefers to use words over weapon but she does not shy away from using her weapon when the situation becomes hairy. In most cases however, she’s more forgiving than Matt towards terrible people but that can sometimes bite her back. Finally you have Miz. The teenage techie of the power trio. Because of his age, he’s not exactly combat-oriented like Matt and Maria are. However he is useful to them in other ways: As his title suggests, he is talented with technological gadgets by either restoring them or tinkering with them to make something new. He has even dabbled in robotics. His specialty is with computers but has also modified a cargo van to run on solar power and battery backup which he considers to be his magnum opus. His backstory is he was kicked out of high school at ninth grade for exposing a fraud ring in his school’s administration. And from this, he tried to make a living by posing as a computer technician but was caught by the FBI when they found out how old he was. Instead of going to jail for career fraud, he was given a commute sentence by working as a cybercrime technician specialist. Which was also how he met Maria since she was the one who convinced her superiors to lighten his sentence. Besides being incredibly intelligent for his age, Miz is also a little bit eccentric at times even to the point of joking around at inappropriate moments. All-in-all however, he is treasured by both Matt and Maria. Though more so by Maria since she knew him for longer than Matt. He’s also the least likely to kill someone because again, he’s not combat-oriented like Matt and Maria are. Even though he is more than capable of designing or repairing weapons that are actually made to kill. Sorry for this long comment but besides all this that I said, I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this video of going over certain character archetypes. As you can see, I’ve made my fictional characters a mix of certain archetypes which I think would make for great character development.

[@AugmentedActor]

Wow that’s great. Thanks for sharing all the details of your characters. That sounds like an awesome story and it’s totally interesting the way you’ve layered i. Different types and have your characters changing roles throughout the story. Best of luck with the project and I hope to see/read the end result when you’re finished.

[@nicholascauton9648]

@@AugmentedActor Thanks, man. I notice you have an FB page which I happen to have an account myself. If you’re inclined to, I’d be more than happy to connect with you and share my work. Right now I’m at the editing stage which will likely take quite a bit of time. But the more fresh eyes I can get, the better.

I identify with that archetype too!

[@lexiemedina8215]

I relate to multiple like the rebel, the sage, the caregiver, and the creator

[@AugmentedActor]

I relate to several as well. I think we all have a certain degree of all of these at some point in our lives.

[@loganlasiter8568]

Is there a document that has this information organized in a similar way that's available somewhere?

Unfortunately no, I never made a document. I did list all my source links in the video description. You might find some lists on those sites.

You’re welcome. But I never planned on being anyone’s homework. Here’s a little hint. Watch the video on 2x speed then you only have to look at me for roughly 9.5 minutes. That’s some super fast homework imho.

[@AM-qi3xy]

I think I relate the most to the sage

[@AugmentedActor]

At first I thought I was mostly a creator but now I’m thinking Sage as well.

[@x.m.doodles]

Can explorer types be reserved? Not wanting to be tied down, but not exactly out looking for a new adventure to throw themselves into?

[@AugmentedActor]

Absolutely. Often characters fight against their true nature or they haven’t yet discovered themselves. Most explorers, heroes and adventurers start out in mundane environments or have to overcome fears and get propelled into an adventure against their will. And rebels often start out by playing by the rules. It’s always much more interesting to see a character become the archetype as the story progresses or see them struggle to become their type.

[@x.m.doodles]

Can you have a character overlapping different archetypes or is that bad writing?

[@AugmentedActor]

Yes you can. It actually makes for more interesting writing. In fact I’d say that everyone has a blend of all the different archetypes I’m their personality but tend to express one or two more strongly. And as a ploy progresses they might grow or change their dominant type. It’s kind of like a tarot deck. The deck represents the human condition and spirit but each card represents one aspect that’s currently being expressed. For writing it’s helpful to at least go with a certain focus but blending is what makes for truly complex and interesting characters.

[@user-kn2ys5tl2p]

Me: In the middle of rewriting a movie musical Also me: Stumbles upon this video and realised that the main character that I rewrote has traits that fit in every single archetype in one way or another!😲

[@AugmentedActor]

Haha. While every person and character has some of every trait, for narrative pieces it’s probably easiest to focus on two to three archetypes per character at most. But there aren’t any hard or fast rules. Playing around with archetype mixing and changing throughout a plot can create interesting multilayered characters.

[@user-kn2ys5tl2p]

Yeah I guess you have a point. I said this because it really depends on the scene the character is in which greatly ranges from manipulating other characters to giving romantic advice to friends and trying to give their children and spouse the best life possible.😊

Rebel, orphan and the joker. I’m good with villains, but not as rulers.

Good thing a lot of villains aren’t rulers.

[@diabloakland]

These are also psychology archetypes. The mastermind is what i fit into in real life but i can also be the other

Oh yes, another way to frame types (Jungian archetypes, etc).

[@Hale-ed8eh]

If it is alright can someone type down the name of every music included in this video? I will really really appreciate it

[@AugmentedActor]

That might take me some time to go back and figure out. I got all the music from a stock music website called Envato elements. None of the music is recorded for purchase. (You won’t find it on Spotify or anything like that. It’s only available to download if you license it from this stock site.

[@AugmentedActor]

Right on. Congrats on the award! And yes we need more Jokers in general. 😂

[@iamvalmira]

man, i feel like i am all types lol

[@AugmentedActor]

Everyone has a mix of all the types. Some stronger than others or manifesting at different points in our lives. So it’s normal to feel more than one type. However good characters often express one or two types very strongly.

[@softly128]

What is the difference between innocent and orphan types?

[@AugmentedActor]

An innocent generally has an optimistic and naive attitude toward life. They are positive and not generally tainted by the hardships of life. Whereas an orphan has been stung by life early on and faced hardships. They will tend to have a harsher outlook on life and are more able to take care of themselves. An orphan will have street smarts, an innocent will not have any idea how to respond to the streets. Also, obviously, orphans are usually forgotten, overlooked, abandoned or abused. Innocents haven't experienced any significant hardships in life. Either can be a child or adult. Interestingly, the character of Little Orphan Annie could be both an orphan (she's street smart) but also an innocent (she has a very optimistic attitude).

[@mrevan9180]

Thank you so much for telling me.

[@mariosk3466]

What if you belong to two types almost equally?

[@AugmentedActor]

I think that’s pretty normal. People are complex and most have aspects of all of these archetypes inside us to some degree. The expression of different archetypes at any given time (and their shadow aspects as well) make us all unique. When creating characters for a story, that’s when it’s easiest to focus on one main type but mixing them up adds depth to a character. And people also change from situation to situation which roles they most express.

[@jaromirgaines7994]

I’m all of these

[@AugmentedActor]

We all have all of these archetypes within us. Our character comes from those types we choose to reveal.

[@DanielleFoushee]

This is fantastic! But I wish there were more examples of non-white characters who fit these archetypes.

[@AugmentedActor]

Thanks for your comment. I tried to include some representation of characters played by people of color in the video, but perhaps I needed to balance it a bit more. Next time I put together a video of this nature, I will be more cognizant of that. Thanks for the feedback.

[@MoivinSulunker]

"Academic" is obviously an adjectival form that was lazily sundered from the modified noun by unthinking speakers and writers. Thus, to use it as a noun is to multiply the scope of the mistaking. Be willing to tell, to the masses and to the members of the established order, that they are wrong. Never let the public tell you how a word is to be used. You set the high standard. Public has no standards, only imitation. Same is true of "innocent". It is obviously not a noun. Obviously.

[@AugmentedActor]

You are so right and sooo smart. Hey everyone. Look at Moivin. He speaks good English. He knows how words should work. He knows all the rules and he can never be wrong. He also has ample time to critique the minutiae of KZbin videos. And if I’m mistaken and he’s not a he, well that is because I don’t know his gender and therefore I must refer to him as a he not a they. Never never a they. They must be stricken from the vernacular when one’s gender is unknown. You got me Moivin. PS the public didn’t tell me how to speak in this video. I chose my words and my delivery for the express purpose of pissing off language purists. Hahah my master plan has finally achieved its result.

This smacks of insubordination. Also irresponsibility. Just say "I never was trained in childhood, now I am very lucky to have make-up training without cost." @@AugmentedActor

[@MoivinSulunker]

See we are testing to see who belongs in the land of the living, and who does not. If any spirit of rebellion manifests, we test to see whether a small amount of punishment will cure it. If not, then the person has shown himself to be disqualified from participating in life. The opportunity for being shown the source of inner Light, Love, and Happiness is easier now than in any earlier time in the history of Earth, and the method is to listen to Prem Rawat. @@AugmentedActor

[@AugmentedActor]

Oh contraire, Madame. I was trained in childhood. I learned most rules of English usage from my advance AP English classes and had them drilled into me by my mother who was an English teacher. As an adult, I choose when to follow such rules and when to break the rules, as most people do. And I don't constrict my expression, nor my artistry with rules. In fact, I believe one should strive to revisit and challenge rules as a regular course of action. Insubordination is the act of willfully disobeying a lawful order of one's superior. And whilst I have displayed willfulness in this exchange, you have neither ordered me, nor are you my superior. So there. @@MoivinSulunker

[@MoivinSulunker]

Well by that definition you are so right. Now let me go away from "idiot dictionaries" and check the authentic dictionary [pause to open ozzair tab] [aside] is occurs to me that maybe when you were born Mars was in seventh house? You are very engaging, though defiant. "insubordinate (adj.) from in- (1) "not, opposite of" + subordinate (adj.) "submitting to authority." "subordinate (adj.) from Latin sub "under" (see sub-) + ordinare "arrange, set in order," from ordo (genitive ordinis) "row, rank, series, arrangement"."

I like these descriptions of the characters, despite the illogic in the language; however I am doubting that they are archetypes, since I found this videograph in a result for "archetypes" -- and anybody who uses words like, "paranoid", "narcissist", or "archetypes", which are scientific terms ... I say whoever uses them without having first learned the correct scientific meaning is a menace to society and does not belong in our culture. @@AugmentedActor

Hi oK 0:14 it wasn't a question, just setting, for you, an example of a better, more logical syntax, than the one whereto we have become used. @@AugmentedActor

[@MoivinSulunker]

Here are some examples: SPANISH: Lo que los hace funcionar? Uses infinitive form. FRENCH: Qu'est-ce qui les fabrique cocher? Uses infinitive form. GERMAN: Was bringt sie zum Ticken? Uses infinitive form. We can infer that infinitive form is the right way, and that some drunkard or peon with a bit of charisma or influence caused the imitative beasts to copy wrongness. @@AugmentedActor

[@MoivinSulunker]

Suppose we use the singular, "What makes HIM to tick." Plainly we see that the form is not indicative, because the third person singular form has an "s" at the end of it "he ticks". Therefore, in light of our consideration of Spain Talk, France Talk, and Joimny Talk, it is an infinitive form; hence it ought to be accompanied by the auxiliary word "to". Infinitive to tick Preterite ticked Past participle ticked Model: obey Auxiliary: have, be Other forms: tick oneself/not tick Contractions Indicative Present I tick you tick he/she/it ticks we tick you tick they tick Preterite I ticked you ticked he/she/it ticked we ticked you ticked they ticked Present continuous I am ticking you are ticking he/she/it is ticking we are ticking you are ticking they are ticking Advertising Present perfect I have ticked you have ticked he/she/it has ticked we have ticked you have ticked they have ticked Future I will tick you will tick he/she/it will tick we will tick you will tick they will tick Future perfect I will have ticked you will have ticked he/she/it will have ticked we will have ticked you will have ticked they will have ticked Past continous I was ticking you were ticking he/she/it was ticking we were ticking you were ticking they were ticking Past perfect I had ticked you had ticked he/she/it had ticked we had ticked you had ticked they had ticked Future continuous I will be ticking you will be ticking he/she/it will be ticking we will be ticking you will be ticking they will be ticking Present perfect continuous I have been ticking you have been ticking he/she/it has been ticking we have been ticking you have been ticking they have been ticking Past perfect continuous I had been ticking you had been ticking he/she/it had been ticking we had been ticking you had been ticking they had been ticking Future perfect continuous I will have been ticking you will have been ticking he/she/it will have been ticking we will have been ticking you will have been ticking they will have been ticking Participle Imperative tick let's tick tick Present ticking Past ticked Infinitive to tick Perfect participle having ticked Model: obey Auxiliary: have, be Other forms: tick oneself/not tick Conjugate also haul, break, hang, equal, fortify, thank, puzzle, subdue, illustrate, debug @@AugmentedActor

[@raphlvlogs271]

the music is too dramatic.

[@AugmentedActor]

Fair enough. But I’m in the drama business. Dramatic is what I aim for.

[@MoivinSulunker]

A character -- is he. "Are they" doesn't properly combine with "a (one) character". One character, sex unknown, is "he", not "they". "A sage" doesn't work with "they are", but with "he is".

[@AugmentedActor]

Yes, one can respond to a sex unknown character as a he. It's a colloquial English way of speaking. But one can also respond with a "they" as in "Someone left their dog on the bus and they haven't claimed it yet."

[@MoivinSulunker]

their dog -- no that is wrong. Some ONE. Subject and verb must agree in number. Disregard the influence of upstarts in positions of communication, teaching, and entertainment. Uphold the established ways of the high IQ scholars of European ancestry, who came before us, not the transient ways of the stupid cows. Take a stand against them, against their stupidity. How can "their" refer to some "one"? It is not logical, it is unintelligent and imitative. Remember, imitativeness is evil. Do not be a part of the crowd. Stand above it and set the example, don't try to fit in to the crowd, either it fits in to you, or get rid of that crowd, drive it out of our lands. @@AugmentedActor

"A romantic" -- WHERE IS THE NOUN?! A naive -- where is the noun? A hopeful what? A mystic what? A traditional what? A romantic what? A naive what?

[@AugmentedActor]

A traditional character. A romantic character. A naive character. A traditional character. A mystic character. Can you just forgive the conceit of not mentioning the word character a million times? I get it, you’re a language purist and you’ve become deeply upset at this video in particular. I acknowledge your prowess with the English language. I bow to your worldly expertise in the matter. You are correct. I shouldn’t exist and this video should be struck from the record of KZbin forever. Now can you please move on to watching and critiquing someone else’s video. So I can get some work done?

[@MoivinSulunker]

Bless your heart. You have much in the way of positive emotion and kindness, ja? @@AugmentedActor

[@MoivinSulunker]

I have like 20 tabs open with videographs and move through them like a minute on each. You are obligated to repeat the third grade before continuing in "the working place" -- after having forced your third grade teacher to refund whatever salary she got, for neglecting to have insisted that you master conjugation of every kind of verb before allowing you to pass into the fourth grade. There has to be some way of insuring that the student uses that, which he learns, while among his friends and family, and not only while being tested by the teacher, and that it will continue for the rest of his life's time. @@AugmentedActor

I have been exceedingly kind to you. If you thought otherwise, then you took cues from your imagination, not from the situation. Do you conflate kindness with approval? Disapproval is unkind? @@AugmentedActor
