Just something useful to do, even when sorting for character observations:
Who has played your role in the past? It's something I remembered was on
the checklist of textwork from Barbara's Freshman Acting Classes. The
specific actors who were cast and played the roles can be found, either
from the Broadway Stage, on broadwayworld.com or ibdb.com, or in Film on
imdb.com, listing the years and even understudies. Here's example lists of
Tuzenbach:

Looking through an actor's resume of work can steer you in the direction
of what generally the character is thought how to be portrayed and viewed
by the audience. Or even when your stuck in thinking what a character
can't be, just a broader view of an actor's range (or sometimes lack there
of) can inspire a change or a stretch within yourself. Pictures of the
past actors can reflect on who/what type of person the character is as
well.
