Sean bean movies and tv shows5/20/2023 ![]() So, getting to the thick of it, here is the list of the 10 best Sean Bean roles in film. One of the most prominent roles Bean played was Richard Sharpe of the Sharpe series, consider this an honorable mention since it is so extensive and we can’t really single out one of the films for this list. Since he prefers to act in films of an older period, it’s hard not to picture him in the historical, traditional garb of a bygone era. Sean Bean isn’t exactly known for his accent changes in film, mostly maintaining his Yorkshire accent which works quite well in just about every role he chooses. That is not to say we won’t be talking about his many deaths, as they are multitudinous and unavoidable. I could easily make this about the many on-screen deaths of Sean Bean (see the ‘Sean Bean death reel’ on YouTube), ranking their buildups and epic conclusions but today we are here to appreciate him as an actor. With this in mind, it’s not hard to believe that many - and I mean most - of his characters on screen perish after internally struggling to an extreme extent. With a strong passion for acting (particularly Shakespearean theatre), he has been known to feature as a poetically tragic character throughout his career. A soft-spoken and overall sweet guy with a reputation and a scattered career, Sean is an acting talent who has shown up in films, television, radio, theatre, and voice acting since the early eighties. Sean (originally Shaun) Bean legally changed his name for the screen, simply because he thought it would catch more attention, and he was not wrong. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) He’s a fun character to watch no matter what happens. In the end though he did go out like a hero trying to save Merry and Pippin, and with two or three arrows sunk into your body it can’t be easy to keep chopping opponents down left and right, but he did just that. He meant well since he wanted to protect his land and his people, but his way of going about things was kind of heavy-handed and it was a little too obvious the ring would have worked him over as it did Isildur. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ringīoromir was kind of a hard guy to like since he was too much like his father, which is established in the third movie to be honest. In this movie at least we can get the idea that they were awesome in some regard since the actors played their parts beautifully and, wouldn’t you know it, Ulysses survived to tell the tale. It’s enough to make a person’s head spin since Achilles and Ulysses and even Hector have been made into legendary figures, though their actual history seems to be riddled with incidents and happenings that paint them in less of a positive light. While this movie is entertaining and does have a lot of action to it a lot of historians are still torn over whether this was a flight of fancy or if the war really took place as some of them think. That being said though it was kind of a nice surprise to find that Bean hadn’t died right away but was just waiting for his chance to come back, y’know, so he could die again. Maybe that would have been a little too obvious, but it still would have been kind of cool. Of course this movie could have gone into a little more depth by seeking to anticipate every one of Bond’s movements and making it clear that whoever he was dealing with knew him like no one else could. ![]() But being betrayed by one of his own fellows, that’s harsh. This was kind of a fun movie since honestly James Bond is rarely dull considering that he lives a pretty busy life. ![]() It does have a very simplified plot so as not to confuse the viewer, that much is true, but it’s also the kind of movie that seems like could have been a little deeper had it just gone a bit more into Brittany Murphy’s part, or explained Sean’s role a bit more since otherwise he does seem like a common jewel thief that wants what was his and is bound to do anything to get it back. Maybe Scott Tobias of AV Club and I saw different things in this movie since it doesn’t seem so much hilarious as it does terrifying if you’re a parent and enough to warrant a healthy feeling of disgust for the villains who will do anything to get what they want. Surprise though, Bean doesn’t die in this movie, though he does get humiliated since he’s not the expert that he poses as, which is easy enough to tell after a while. There’s a lot of double-dealing and backstabbing throughout the movie but it’s entertaining enough to keep up with. The main gist of the movie is easy enough to figure out, six strangers from different backgrounds come together to pull off a heist but don’t know what’s in the container they’re trying to retrieve. Ronin’s kind of an odd movie since it has a group of very well-known and great actors, but it wasn’t given a whole lot of hype before it was put on the shelf.
