Revisit the major productions of 'Twelve Angry Men'
Post Gazette: "Casts are listed by juror number; second names are replacements. Juror No. 8 is in bold because that's the flashiest role (followed closely in prestige by Juror No. 3)."

It's interesting that even in the script, the jurors aren't listed by name. I've seen the movie, and noticed the lack of names, but didn't think it was that important. The author clearly made a choice not to include any identifications.
I didn't quite care for this play when I saw it a few years. The school was doing it in an almost rep type set up, and the altered between 12 angry men and 12 angry woman. I respect the piece for what it is however, and now later on, I am beginning to pick out different ways that the story could be told in order to make it relevant to current issues
