Why does Sean Bean die so much?

[JRHermle]

Maybe he should be a redshirt on Star Trek.

Duncan Idaho. At least he'd still be in every movie of the series.

It's too bad. I met Sean Bean on Don't Say a Word when it was filmed up here. I was a on-set set dresser and he was a super nice guy. I hope one day he lives through a movie lol.

 

[Heatshock]

you guys have Michael Biehn, we have Sean Bean

tbh, I really like Sean Bean, and if you add up all his credits, yes, he may die alot, but he has been in a LOT of high profiles. Albeit, not always for very long.

Very under-rated actor (eg he would have made such a better Aragon than Vigo) who gets very regular work.

Also, perhaps because Liam Neeson was unavailable now that he's busy chasing after guys who stole his daughter/identity/wife/etc.

So Sean Bean is the new Liam Neeson, Liam Neeson is the new Harrison Ford, and Harrison Ford is the new...

 

[SSgt Burton]

and Harrison Ford is the new...

Sean Connery.

Sean Connery.

Well played.

So Sean Bean is the new Liam Neeson, Liam Neeson is the new Harrison Ford, and Harrison Ford is the new...

I was going to say Burgess Meredith

He survives National Treasure and Flightplan, though he probably deserved to die for the latter ...

A friend and I were in a theater recently when they were previewing that new Ashley Judd series. They showed Sean Bean as the father. Well I looked at my firend and said "I bet he dies quick" Next, I mean NEXT Scene not 5 seconds later, BOOM his car explodes. We were rolling on the floor laughing our asses off.

 

[NoTsOsErIoUs]

Sean Bean should have been John Constantine then he could have at least double crossed his way out of a death.

 

[Chaotica]

Is there someone who's died more than him.

I don't know if he's died more times, but Lance Henriksen certainly dies in a great deal of his movies... in fact, I have a hard time recalling one that he survives! He dies in Aliens, Pumpkinhead, The Quick and the Dead, Hard Target, Alien vs Predator, Helraiser: Hellworld, Scream 3, Near Dark, No Escape, Jennifer Eight, Stone Cold, The Pit and the Pendulum, Terminator (presumably), and those are just the ones I can think of off hand. :lol

 

[SSgt Burton]

Technically Lance survived Aliens (but was half the man he used to be ) and as far as The Terminator goes, he took about 10 rounds from an AR-18 and a shotgun blast so it's a safe bet he died in that one.

He did have his "plug pulled" in Alien3, but managed to not get killed in The Right Stuff.

Lance certainly does die a lot too.

Aw come on, guys!!

Spoilers, huh?!

 

[Riceball]

Never watched it, but Mr. Bean was killed off in the new TV show called Missing :lol

You mean Mr. Bean was on American TV, so does that mean no more Mr. Bean movies? :lol

 

[wannab]

Aw come on, guys!!

Spoilers, huh?!

C'mon, Sean is a walking spoiler. lol

//Contains a minor minor spoiler for a Sean Bean film.//
I just saw a Sean Bean movie, The Lost Future, that surprised me. First of all it was on Syfy channel and it was filmed by Syfy. It surprised me because it was actually half decent. And secondly he actually didn't die! There was a scene towards the end where I thought "oh he made it so far" but then he pulled through!

 

[TraumaCaspian]

I think Sean Bean was always meant to play a bad guy so with that he just must always die.

 

[0neiros]

Goldeneye is the perfect Sean Bean Movie. He dies twice in it.

In his day, Yul Brynner died a lot in movies too. He didn't die in The 10 Commandments, but frankly that would have been a blessing. You gotta admit, Sean was the perfect choice to play Ned Stark. Actually think about it, being a guy who perpetually gets killed, what a great thing for your career. You get lot's of work, if the director or co-stars are pains, well you only have to deal with them for part of the filming.

 

[Jedi2016]

I tell you one thing. When I first saw GoldenEye I knew he wasn't dead at the beginning because he was Number 3 in the credits. The Number 3 guy in the credits never dies in the first ten minutes. How dumb do they think we are?

Yeah, but that was the only film where he got to die twice.

I don't know if he's died more times, but Lance Henriksen certainly dies in a great deal of his movies... in fact, I have a hard time recalling one that he survives!

He survived "Slammin Salmon", but he had a small part. And I assume he will survive "Bring Me The Head of Lance Henriksen" if it ever gets finished.
