Joe

"Joe was a fair man, with curls of flaxen hair on each side of his smooth face, and with eyes of such a very undecided blue that they seemed to have somehow got mixed with their own whites. He was midl, good-natured, sweet-tempered, easygoing, foolish, dear fellow-- a sort of Hercules strength, and also in weakness." (pg. 6)

" Joe and I being fellow sufferers, and having confidences as such, Joe imparted a confidence to me the moment I raised the latch of the door..." (pg. 7)

"Joe's station of influence were something feeler (if possible when there was company then when there was none." (pg. 25)

"With my heart thumping like a blacksmith at Joe's broad shoulder..." (pg. 34)

A present day actor that I picture for the character Joe is Joe Dempsie. I think that he fits this character well because he fits the physical description, and I can picture him doing everything that Joe does.
