The Globe Theater was built in 1599 by the Lord Chamberlain's Men, the name of a group of actors and one actor/writer (William Shakespeare). There were a number of very famous actors in the Chamberlain's Men, including Richard Burbage, who played all of Shakespeare's major tragic roles (except, perhaps, Lear), William Kempe (some of Shakespeare's broader fools, plus Falstaff), Robert Armin, who replaced Kempe and played some of the more subtle fools, and others who were "sharers," meaning that they were like modern partners in a partnership, sharing in the company's profits.

The company would hire in other actors for various roles in various shows.
