The Thespian

The Thespian is a Series 8 Minifigure released in 2012.
== Notes ==
* The Thespian is the only Series 8 minifigure with a double sided head.
*He is inspired by English Playwright William Shakespeare, who would eventually get his own minifigure in The LEGO Movie.
* His bio mentions the Studios theme.
* LEGO.com accidentally titled this minifigure "Actor", while his bio text called him by his official name, "The Thespian."
* The same designer designed The Thespian's hairpiece more than 20 years before he designed the ruffle piece.
*The ruffle was designed for him, but has since been used on the Sad Clown and William Shakespeare.
* The Thespian uses his quote "To build or not to build", a parody of William Shakespeare's quote "To be or not to be". The Thespian also resembles Shakespeare.
** The Thespian carries a minifigure skull in reference to the above quote.
