Hercules Mulligan is a central part of Hamilton’s first act friend-group. Historically, Mulligan was an Irish tailor and a prominent spy in the American Revolution; in the musical, he is displayed as the brash joker of the group, bragging about his sexual prowess (“My Shot”). In Act Two, the same actor plays James Madison, the man responsible for the Constitution and the fourth president of the United States.
