 Sothern's interpretation not only turned the "Dundreary" into a leading role, but made him a recurring character in a number of subsequent spin-offs and sequels, including ''[[Our American Cousin at Home, or Lord Dundreary Abroad]]'' (a sequel by Charles Gayler, 1860), ''[[Dundreary Married and Done For]]'' (H. J. Byron), and ''[[Brother Sam]]'' (by John Oxenford, 1862) (1862; revived in 1865), a play about Dundreary's brother.
