Sean Bean

[Kyriakos]

I just love this actor, cause he is good at his work and also tends to project the sense that he is actually a good human being as well

I first was impressed by him in the first Silent Hill movie. I can't say i bothered much with the LOTR series, but he was also one of the very few in the cast of Troy that i liked (along with Agamemnon, but obviously for other reasons ).

And then, of course, it was an excellent idea to choose him to play Ned Stark

You can discuss about this actor, if you feel like it, or just lose yourself in the communal celebrative echoes of Sean Bean, carried by the wind beyond the wall in the north. Just don't be a Greyjoy.

One of my friends once called Sean Bean "a walking spoiler". Here's why:

^I saw his death in that movie too, although i could not bother with watching the entire movie

There was a line near the end with the guy who had to note that he intended to wear his nice clothes for a long time, and then just... 'lost face'

Sean Bean used to be my man crush so I have hearty respect for this thread. He is also one of the few people who I would willingly allow narrating of my life if such a cosmic law came into effect.

He has a new television show coming to TNT in August called Legends. Looks promising and since I enjoy him as an actor let's hope it either doesn't get cancelled after one season or his character dies before the end of it!

The one series that I've watched that stars Sean Bean is Sharpe. The series is set during the Peninsular War (and later) and Sean Bean plays Richard Sharpe, a rifleman who is made an officer by Lord Wellington. The most notable thing about the series is that it lasts for 17 hour and a half episodes, and Sharpe continues to live at the end, although in a couple of episodes he nearly dies, and in two episodes fakes his own death.

O'er the hills and o'er the main: Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain.

One of my wife's few actor crushes. Seen most of the Sharpe movies myself, but only read one of the books. He's pretty good.

He is the kind of actor who always die in every single movie. It has become a bit of a spoiler to see him in the starting credits.

The Amulet is shattered. Dagon is defeated. With the Dragon's blood, and the Amulet of Kings, we have sealed the gates of Oblivion... forever. The last of the Septims passes now into history. I go gladly, for I know my sacrifice is not in vain. I take my place with my father, and my father's fathers. The Third Age has ended, and a new age dawns. When the next Elder Scroll is written, you shall be its scribe. The shape of the future, the fate of the Empire, these things now belong to you.

I like that expression, and will probably steal it for casual conversation.

Ironically in Troy he plays on of the few characters not to die.

 

[Phrossack]

Sadly, it did not work.

 

[Kyriakos]

Even when dead, Sean Bean still kills the rest of the actors

The first film I ever saw him in was Troy, but for me he is/b] Richard Sharpe. I can't read Cornwell's novels without his accent giving Sharpe voice.

Which is pretty funny considering he's way too blonde to be the character in the books.

Every time I read about Sharpe's black hair, I think "...Sharpe has blonde hair, Cornwell, what are you on about?"
