There are certain actors who portray the same type of characters so often that they start to become typecast<\/a>. Some, like Jim Carrey, for example, are repeatedly cast as the funny guy while there’s a long list of actors who’ve struggled to get away from the evil villain role. While British actor Sean Bean can perhaps count himself among\u00a0them, he’s better known for something a little bit different.<\/p>\n

Few actors have died on-screen quite as many times as Bean; who has bitten the bullet in almost half of the movies\u00a0in which he has appeared in as well as a handful of television shows and games<\/a>. Many of these deaths have been simple shootings, but there have been plenty of memorable ones as well. Some have been gruesome, others tragic, and a select few have been downright bizarre.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Equilibrium (2002) – Executed For His Love Of Poetry<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Set in a dystopian future in which a third world war has brought humanity to its knees, Equilibrium<\/em> borrows a lot from the past despite its futuristic setting<\/a>. The bulk of the movie takes place in Libria, a totalitarian city-state in which citizens are injected with a daily dose of psychoactive drugs\u00a0in order to suppress all emotion.<\/p>\n

Bean plays\u00a0Errol Partridge, a\u00a0high ranking cleric with a love of literature and poetry. Unfortunately, these pursuits are no longer allowed in Libria, and Errol is executed by his partner after\u00a0being caught saving a book of W.B. Yeats poems rather than burning it as he was supposed to. His death is not in vain though, as it does help his now former partner to discover that he too has emotions inside of him which ultimately leads to him joining an underground revolution and bringing down the establishment.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Far North (2007) –\u00a0Killed By Climate<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Sean Bean has appeared in some really bizarre movies over the years, but none more so than Far North<\/em>. It’s an independent flick set in the arctic tundras of Siberia\u00a0in which Bean plays an injured soviet soldier named Loki who’s taken in by\u00a0a native woman called Saiva and her daughter Anja. As he slowly recovers from his wounds, Loki falls madly in love with Anja and the pair make plans to return to civilization\u00a0and\u00a0start a family together.<\/p>\n

Rather than being happy for her daughter though, Saiva is overcome with grief and depression and this somehow\u00a0leads to her choking her daughter to death and then wearing her face like a Halloween mask. Of course, Loki\u00a0sees right through this feeble disguise, although not before having sex with her first. Upon finally realizing what has happened, he flees naked into the frozen tundra where he presumably freezes to death a short while later.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Goldeneye (1995) – Crushed By A Satellite<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

James Bond may be the most famous double 0 agent, but he is far from the only one. We see many of his comrades throughout the movies, although most are typically used strictly as background characters<\/a>. One of the few who has played a major role\u00a0though is Alec Trevelyan who was portrayed by Sean Bean and went by the code name 006.<\/p>\n

In Goldeneye<\/em>, he fakes his death in order to carry out his plan to use a state of the art weapon to steal financial records from the Bank of England and completely destroy the UK’s economy.\u00a0This ultimately leads to\u00a0the two double 0 agents\u00a0duking it out atop a giant satellite dish before Trevelyan falls to the hard ground below. Amazingly, he’s somehow able to survive this huge drop although dies not long after when he is crushed by the flaming wreckage of the dish.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Patriot Games (1992) – Impaled By An Anchor<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Sean Bean was one of the many new faces to appear in Patriot Games<\/em>, the highly anticipated sequel to Tom Clancy’s The Hunt for Red October<\/em>. He plays Sean Miller, a member of an Irish republican paramilitary organization, who swears vengeance against the main protagonist Jack Ryan after he\u00a0kills his brother Patrick.<\/p>\n

The movie’s high octane climax sees the two men going blow for blow on a moving speedboat. For a while, it looks like it could go either way, but the hero eventually gains the upper hand and impales Bean’s character on an anchor. Ryan then jumps into the water just moments before the boat crashes into some rocks and explodes into a ball of flames.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Don\u2019t Say A Word (2001) – Buried Alive<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Based on Andrew Klavan’s novel of the same name, Don’t Say a Word<\/em> sees Bean star as Patrick Koster, the leader of a gang of international jewel thieves. After they team up to steal a ten million dollar gem<\/a>, however, his team double-crosses him, and he ends up in jail for quite some time.<\/p>\n

Upon his release, he sets out to reclaim his bounty and take revenge on those who betrayed him. This eventually leads him to\u00a0the grave of one of his crew’s late father\u00a0and the gem ends up getting thrown into an earth excavator. Before Koster can get his hands on it though, someone turns the machine on and he ends up getting buried alive beneath a pile of fresh dirt and mud.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring (2001) – Impaled By Crossbow Bolts<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Given the scale of the task facing the Fellowship of the Ring<\/em><\/a>, it’s somewhat surprising that eight of its nine original members somehow made it back alive from Mordor. What’s not so surprising though is that Sean Bean just happened to be the one cast member who perished along the way. What’s more, he didn’t even make it to the end of the first movie.<\/p>\n

After being corrupted by the Ring of Power and attempting to take it from Frodo by force, Bean’s character Boromir tries to make amends for his actions by fighting off a group of Orcs to protect Merry and Pippin.\u00a0Although he fights valiantly,\u00a0he\u00a0eventually succumbs to his many crossbow bolt wounds, and the two young hobbits are taken prisoner anyway.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>The Field (1990) – Death By Cow<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Field<\/em> sees Bean line up alongside\u00a0some of the very best British and Irish actors of the 20th century in a movie that’s both powerful and bizarre<\/a> in equal measures. It’s centered around a bitter land dispute that arises after Bean’s character Tadhg kills a donkey that had broken into the family field and dumps its corpse in a river.<\/p>\n

The resulting conflict eventually leads to his father going mad and herding his cattle off a cliff. Upon realizing what’s happening, Tadhg rushes to the field but is inadvertently caught amongst the irate animals and driven over the cliff himself down onto the beach far below. This pushes his father further into the realms of insanity and the movie ends with him desperately trying to usher back the tide to prevent it from claiming his son’s lifeless corpse.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>The Island (2005) – Hanged\u00a0By A Clone<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Island<\/em>\u00a0paints a picture of a bleak future<\/a> in which\u00a0clones are used as unwilling surrogates and organ donors for the rich and powerful. Bean plays Dr. Merrick, the scientist who is\u00a0responsible for the day to day running\u00a0of the compound that these clones call home.\u00a0Of course, as far as they’re concerned, the compound is one of the only safe havens left on earth\u00a0rather than the illicit organ factory that it really is.<\/p>\n

Things are running quite smoothly for the good doctor until a defect with one of the clones leads to him questioning the reality of the compound and eventually discovering its true purpose. This leads to him and Merrick fighting atop a chrome sky-way and the latter hanging by his neck after it collapses\u00a0as a result of\u00a0the scuffle.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Black Death (2010) – Pulled Apart By Horses<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

A movie centered around the bubonic plague<\/a> was always going to feature a lot of death, but the majority of those found in Black Death<\/em> actually come at the hands of men rather than the deadly bacteria itself<\/a>. Bean plays\u00a0an envoy for the regional bishop named Ulric in this one, and it’s his faith that ultimately proves to be his downfall.<\/p>\n

Ulric and his group eventually find themselves in\u00a0a village of pagans and are taken prisoner shortly after their arrival. When they refuse to renounce their god, one of his party is crucified and disemboweled before\u00a0Ulric himself is drawn and quartered by horses. He does use his last words wisely, however, announcing to the villagers that he has the plague. It’s this revelation that causes the confusion that allows the surviving members of his group to escape the village.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Game of Thrones (2011) – Beheaded<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

When fans of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire<\/em> series<\/a> learned that Sean Bean would be appearing in the television adaptation, most knew immediately who he would be playing. Not only does Bean possess many of the same qualities as Ned Stark, but his solid track record of dying on screen made him a strong candidate for the role.<\/p>\n

After learning the truth about Cersei and her brother Jaime, Ned attempts to prevent Joffrey from taking the throne. Unfortunately, he puts his faith in the wrong man and soon finds himself locked up in the dungeons of King’s Landing facing charges of treason. Despite sullying his honor with a false confession, Joffrey orders his execution anyway and his head is placed on a spike and displayed on one of the city’s walls.<\/p>\n
