We never talk about Highlander it was an abomination😄

You are talking to someone who has watched all 7 Tremors movies.

Love Highlander and Highlander 2 (also had Sean Connery with his Portuguese/Scots accent)

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

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

I've had a thing about him ever since watching Sharpe and Boromir just made LOTR so much more watchable! I was gutted when Ned Stark died in GoT.

BringMeTea · 20/07/2023 20:03

His performance in Broken is so so good.

He's Shaun Bean in real life, changed it to look more memorable I guess.

What's your view?

You know more about him than me, as I didn't even realise that was his real name.

Are you referring to his being killed off in pretty much everything he's in?

He doesn't write the script.

He was very good in Time, and his character survives in the end.

I adore Seen Bean as we call him . I remember going to the LOTR exhibition in London and even falling I. Love with the model of Boromir they'd made for his after death scene where he goes over the waterfall in his canoe . It was so perfect just like him .

Wouldyouguess · 20/07/2023 18:59

He found his niche, he is good at the characters he plays and he picks good projects, or has a good agent so, not too bad considering many amazing actors have 5 IMDB credits to their name if even that.

He plays an excellent death scene

I expect someone has done a compilation of Sean Bean's many deaths, but I wouldn't want to watch it.

Sharpe was great. Well worth re-watching. The books are good as well.

Sean Bean was tremendous in that series where he played a transvestite and Stephen Graham was his boyfriend. It seems to have been forgotten about. I also liked him in the drama about a priest. Also recently he showed vulnerability and sensitivity in Marriage with Nicola Walker. He is very varied and a very clever actor. He doesn’t always play tough guy roles. The only thing I’ve not seen him do is comedy although I could be wrong.

Does this cameo count?I If not, it's worth watching to hear him say "C'mon lass" (aka Sheffield blokes foreplay😄)

Happiest memories watching Sharpe with my dad as kid

Same! And endless discussions about if a howitzer would be better than canon... Drive my mum mad!

Very fine actor but not great at changing his accent is he? Very fine accent though!

Quite so.
Many actors use their own accents all the time, it just doesn't get any comment if it's 'southern English' (not 'east end' or rural ... whatever replaced RP or 'bbc English' this century)
