I’m not sure if you mean this but this is what I said :

The jurors in 12 Angry Men are referred to by numbers instead of names. The writer intended for this collection of characters to signify a cross-section of society, each juror potentially representing any other randomly chosen citizen.

How is he described as?

Juror Five is very young and unworldly and therefore intimidated by the other jurors, but wants to do a good job. Like the teenage defendant who is accused of murdering his father, he comes from the slums. He grew up with knife fights, poverty, and violence as a way of life.

How does he act?

Juror Two is a timid, submissive, and nervous man. He doesn't have strong convictions and is easily influenced by others. In the beginning, Juror Two votes that the defendant, a nineteen-year-old boy, is guilty of murdering his father, but he can't give any reasons why he feels that way.

Hope this helps
