Still would

tbh i've only seen Cumberbatch do him. I don't watch a lot of films though. But it applies to lots of actors, and i think the idea that the Beanster is a one trick pony has been debunked here.

I like that he uses his own accent, but i am biased because i just love a growly Sheffield accent. Whenever i go back for a visit i am swooning all over the place, and it's usually just someone in a shop asking if i want to pay cash or use my card "love" 😂

if we're talking one trick ponies and their accents - how about Benedict Cumberbatch who always plays the character-as-cumberbatch-with-posho-accent. (point to the Beanster: i just bet he can say penguin)

I'm not sure he does in Cabin Pressure, his is the least distinctive voice out of the four main cast.

I was at the Lane when they filmed that. ⚔️ They filmed a lot of it around where I live and he used to go in my local with Pete Postlethwaite. My dad had a drink with him a few times and brought me home a signed picture of him (which I still have).

With all the balloons they couldn't burst in time for the second half because one of the stands had been knocked down at the time??

Still one of the greatest moments of my life :D (I was there as an away supporter ;) )

Christ all bloody mighty. Why have I never seen that.

I once met him at a football match (Shef Utd, but he was there filming a scene for When Saturday Comes). He was everything I wanted him to be (well, everything I could have wanted with my boyfriend there with me!!!). My love for him will never diminish.

If you want a bit of Northern rough ( and who doesn’t 😜) Sean is your man

Totally agree with you Dusty

I think he's got a very wide range but is sometimes mistaken for only playing Sean Bean in different costumes because he uses his natural, distinctive accent much of the time (not sure if he is any good at other accents). Other actors use their natural RP and aren't mistaken for playing the one part because it's less specific to a very particular place and just reads as 'English'.

Mmm Sean Bean dreamy eyes

I think Sean Bean has quite a range. I agree with PP, there's a bit of classism with his accent.

Also Sean Bean doesn't die in everything either, I think the whole point of his break out role was that Sharpe managed repeatedly not to die. Maybe his carking it in LOTR and GOT were so monumental to the plots of what were pretty big popular culture moments that its got seared into everyone's minds?

He dies in a lot of things though

Martin Freeman just seems to pull faces, that's not acting.

Show quote history

It's not acting, he was in some of the Marvel films mainly black panther and he just pulled faces with an awful America accent !

Jujubes5 · 21/07/2023 08:41

Sharpe was great - watched it weekly with my teenage son. Great that there was something we both enjoyed watching.

One trick pony? One does not simply walk into Mordor.

Think I need a name change now.

LadyBird1973 · 20/07/2023 09:02

I quite like him - he gets through wives, mind. He's been married about 26 times now?

Agree with pp on Martin Freeman. He gives me the heebie jeebies (sp? ) I was on gollums side in the hobbit!

I was particularly fond of his Scottish Egyptian in Highlander.

I have this mental image of the director of that film looking out over the assembled cast, all the accents he needed but not one on the right character and all the Scottish people seemingly from Brigadoon or Ireland and saying "Ah fuck it, just do what you like, its beyond me" and wandering off to concentrate on the special effects 🤣

Ha from Brigadoon or Ireland 😃

DisforDarkChocolate · 21/07/2023 07:44

I agree @KimberleyClark

I'm not a fan in general but he was magnificent in this.

doingitforyorkshire · 21/07/2023 07:42

I like him, not just his acting roles but that advert. Yes, my username.......it still does it for me..... even now:).

You have obviously have not seen him in The Power of the Dog. It’s a Western psychological thriller in which he plays a rancher. He was nominated for an Oscar for his performance.

peachypudding · 21/07/2023 07:34

I think he's one of our finest actors. I'm in awe of his talent.

He was OK in that film where he played a pig that talks.

(no - not "Babe", it's called "When Saturday Comes")

oh sorry - this made me choke on my müsli!

This is why I like Sean Connery, no matter what nationality he was, always sounded Scottish
