Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I need to know what is the name of the character who is a male and has the smallest part. He is only on stage for like 5 minutes and is a young man.

There is scene in the movie about 1/2 way thru the movie, where a young man comes to the door (where the main characters live) I think he is trying to get newspaper subscriptions or he just delivered something. The only person home is blanche (the lady who eventually loses it) This is a very telling scene because the audience gets a small glimpse into blanche's past and to her oncoming madness. Blanche was a teacher in another county,she also had a thing for sweet young male students which got her into trouble.I don't think he states his name it really is not important. He is very naive and is kinda wondering what is going on with this strange woman who has answered the door, she keeps talking and he is being polite and doesn't want to say hey lady
gotta go because she keeps talking almost as if he is not in the same room. Good scene just play it young and non judgemental, a little confused.

Perhaps you're referring to the newspaper boy, whose name is never mentioned.

Here's the breakdown of all the characters (some of whom are only talked about, but never appear on stage):
