- Randle P. McMurphy. Played by Jack Nicholson. The cocky convict and rebel-hero of the film. With his wild hair, boundless energy, loud mouth, foul language, pornographic playing cards, ready laugh, and physical courage, McMurphy challenges authority in the mental institution.

Nurse Ratched’s every physical movement and facial expression is measured and contained: her cap is perfectly white, her voice is polite and controlled, her face is stony, and her expression is unsmiling and cold.
- Chief Bromden. Played by Will Sampson. The huge Native American mental patient who pushes a broom silently while observing everything that happens in the ward.
- Billy Bibbit. Played by Brad Dourif. A stammering, suicidal young man with a fixation on his mother. Billy is tentative, inhibited, virginal, gentle, and sweet.
