Sarah Jacobs
Played by: Ele Keats
Info: Sarah...where do I begin? Well she's Dave and Les' sister. She always so sweet and sugery and innocent and it makes me want to throw up. She has a thing for Jack from the start (who wouldn't?). So it's safe to say that NOBODY LIKES HER. She is totally pointless to the movie, it would've been perfectly fine without her. I may hate her but (and I think we can all agree on this) I really wish I was in her position.

Bryan Denton
Played by: Bill Pullman
Info: Bryan Denton is the reporter for the New York Sun and he is the only reporter that follows the newsies strike story. He becomes pretty close with the boys after a while and even tries to keep Snyder away from Jack. Denton is kind of a nerd in my eyes (look at his little bowtie), but he's a nerd with a lot of money. He seems to always buy all the boys food at Tibby's and he paid all of their fines when they got arrested ($5 each for like 15 or 20 newsies). Overall, Denton is the only character I actually like besides the newsies.

Joseph Pulitzer
Played by: Robert Duvall
Info: Pulitzer is a greedy rich man who has gotten a big head with all of his power. He owns The World which is the paper the newsies in the movie sell. He decides to jack up the price of papers for newsies (not a good idea). He caused the strike because he really is not that smart. Also he's kind of a weirdo, he does weird hand motions a lot and likes to poke people ( just count how many times he pokes Jack).
History: If you don't know who Joseph Pulitzer is I highly suggest you go back to history class.

Medda Larkson
Played by: Ann-Margret
Info: Medda is a Swedish Vaudeville star. All of the newsies thinks she's really hot (even though she could be their mom or grandma) and she seems to be pretty good friends with Jack. Anyway, she's another girl in the movie that no one likes and the movie would've survived without her.

Mister Snyder
Played by: Kevin Tighe
Info: He's a jerk who runs the refuge for orphans who were arrested. He's obsessed with Jack and is constantly trying to catch him after he broke out of the refuge. Jack says that Snyder takes the money that's supposed to go to refuge. He's an evil person, but he eventually gets what he deserves.

Weisel/Weasel
Played by: Michael Lerner
Info: Mr. Weisel, or "Weasel" as Jack and some of the other newsies call him, is the person the newsies buy their papers from. He's not a very nice guy and the newsies (especially Jack) harass him a lot.

The Delancey Brothers
Played by: Shon Greenblatt (Oscar) and David Sheinkopf (Morris)
Info: Oscar and Morris Delancey are "scabbers" which are people that work for Pulitzer to sell papers and get paid directly by him. They're enemies of the newsies and just are not good people.
