John Doe
- Has characteristics of both Mills and Somerset.
- John Doe's character reflect (an extreme version) both of the detectives: the director conveys this from the seating arrangement on the car.
- Somerset in the driver seat and Mills on the passenger seat while Doe sits at the back, between the other 2 characters. Mills often looks back directly while talking with Doe- which symbolises his directness and the fact that he is not self aware that he shares many traits with Doe. Somerset looks at Doe through the rear view mirror- showing that he is aware that his character reflects Doe's.
