Sean Bean has been listed as a good article under the good-article criteria. If you can improve it further, please do. |
"He embarrassingly admits he doesn't mind being considered the ladies' "bit of rough".[24]" I haven't changed this because i'm not sure, but it doesn't sound quite right to me; I think it is trying to say sean bean says he doesn't mind "being blablabla", but he is a bit embarassed about doing so, whereas as it reads now, it looks as though the person who wrote that sentence thinks that sean bean saying that is embarassing. If you agree or think I'm correct, change it - i'm not sure if i'm right or it's just personal preference Saccerzd 03:35, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
So... what's this Sharpe "in-joke" in The Lord of the Rings then? C'mon, surely articles can't be allowed to tease us like this! :-) Seriously, I'm not a Rings fan at all, but I do like Sharpe and since it's mentioned it'd be interesting to hear what it is. Otherwise, why mention it at all? Angmering 00:11, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)
From IMDB Trivia for 'The Fellowship of the Ring': Sean Bean starred in a UK TV series as a soldier during the Napoleonic wars by the name of Richard Sharpe. He subsequently appeared in a series of commercials where he would allude to his earlier role, saying things like, "Sharpe idea". In this movie he continues the joke: after touching the Sword of Elendil he says, "Still Sharpe." 14:00, 7/10/04 Hammersfan

[edit] Typecast?
Bean has been placed in the category typecast actors, please exaplin why.--nixie 13:17, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
- He quite often is in Hollywood films. Like most british actors because no yank will play the bad guy. Any minor actor has to play more than his fair share of bad guys though. Personally I wouldn't count him as one. josh 20:32, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
Bean has said he was typecast by playing Major Richard Sharpe, and did not work for a year after the series finished in 1997.
[edit] The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
As an in-joke, the secret order of elite warriors trained in the Akaviri style and answer only to the Emperor are called the "Blades".
- How is this an in-joke? They were called that in morrowind as well.
Youngsters these days... Infact the Blades were already around in Daggerfall which came out in 1996, not that anybody remembers computer games from that long ago but still. Anyway it's not an in-joke of any kind, the Blades have long been a part of TES lore. Seek100 19:18, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trivia
Would it be relevant to mention the fact that he seems to land on roles where his characters die very often? It's somewhat of a joke in the fandom anyway. Here's a list of his roles, split up to show when he dies and when he doesn't --83.100.41.232 20:32, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Bean dies more times than Charlton Heston!
[edit] England
Very little here about a prominant English actor. The Sheff Utd film deserves a mention, no?
[edit] GA passing
Despite having some gripes about the informaility of some of the titles, I belive this to be a very well written, sourced and presented article, worthy of GA standard. Try to fix those titles before you go for FAC. Good work everyone

[edit] Second Wife
"In addition, he has been accused of being a chauvinist; this originated after his second wife claimed he watched too much football, spent too much time in the pub and left clothes about the house."
If that's grounds for divorce...good luck ever keeping a husband, lady.
[edit] Metal Gear Solid (2008)
Where's the reference for him being considered as Solid or Liquid Snake in the upcoming Metal Gear movie? I've never heard this.129.2.145.93 07:51, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
