* NamedByTheAdaptation: His surname is not revealed in the book, although he calls himself "Alexander The Large" at one point, though this was probably an illusion to his erect penis that he used to commit rape. In the film, he is given the surname [=DeLarge=], which is an actual surname, by the way.

[[folder:Jack]]
!!!'''Portrayed by:''' Billy Russell

A librarian who ends up being attacked by Alex and his droogs. He later comes across Alex again when he visits the library, and he gets his fellow librarians to aid him in attacking Alex.
----
* AdaptedOut: Like in the book, the professor had a large role in the early version of the movie, but it was [[DeletedRole deleted]] in the final one. The deleted scenes are currently lost and Jack's actor died later that year, so it would have been his last role in a movie.
* BadassBookworm: Has become this by the second time he and Alex cross paths, or at least, whenever he has company. He instantly recognizes him, and he gathers other librarians around him to swarm Alex. They would have beaten him to a pulp if they were younger and had more strength.
* FalseTeethTomfoolery: As part of their attack on Jack, he had his dentures wrenched out of his mouth by Dim. Alex tried to stomp on them on the ground, but they were unable to be broken by his boot.
* ShamefulStrip: Alex and his droogs rip his clothing off, leaving him to hobble away wearing only an undervest and ancient long underpants, which caused Dim to roar with laughter at the sight.
