Sean Bean Life

Shaun Mark Bean (born 17 April 1959), also known as Sean Bean (on film), is an English actor.

Bean made his professional debut in a Romeo and Juliet production after graduating from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 1983.

He first found fame in the ITV series Sharpe for his portrayal of Richard Sharpe. He's still retains his Yorkshire accent. More appearances followed, including Patriot Games (1992), GoldenEye (1995), Ronin (1999), The Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001–2003), Equilibrium (2004), Odysseus in Troy (2004), The Martian (2005), John Jenkins (2001), The Lord of the Rings trilogy (1992), Ronin (1995), a host of The Rings trilogy (1999), Andre the composer (2005), The Island (2004), The Martian (2005), The Island (2004) Among other television appearances include the BBC anthology series Accused, Game of Thrones, and Henry VIII's ITV historical drama series.

Bean has appeared in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Sid Meier's Civilization VI, and the epic The Canterbury Tales among others.

Early life

Shaun Mark Bean was born in Handsworth, a suburb of Sheffield, on the son of Rita (née Tuckwood) and Brian K. Bean (born 1934). Lorraine, his younger sister, has a younger brother. Harold Bean Jr. (1914-1948) served in the Royal Navy during the Second World War and later became a pacifist. Bean's mother, who worked as a secretary, owned a production company that employed 50 workers, including Bean's mother. Despite being extremely wealthy, the family never moved away from the council estate as they continued to be close to friends and relatives. Bean smashed a glass door as an infant, resulting in the removal of a piece of glass embedded in his leg that temporarily stymied his walking and leaving a substantial scar. This discouraged him from pursuing his dream of playing football professionally.

Bean earned an O level in Art and English at Brook Comprehensive School in 1975. He began working at his father's company after a stint at a supermarket and another for the local council. He attended Rotherham College of Arts and Technology to study welding for a week. He stumbled upon an art class while attending college and decided to pursue his passion for art. He returned to Rotherham College, where he had enrolled in a drama course after attending courses at two other colleges, one for half a day and the other for less than a week. He received a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), which began in 1981, after several college performances and one at Rotherham Civic Theatre.

Personal life

Bean has been married five times and divorced four times. He married Debra James, a secondary school sweetheart, on April 11, 1981, and the couple were divorced in 1988. Melanie Hill was the RADA's first female actress, and they were married on February 27, 1990. Their first daughter was born in October 1987 and their second was born in September 1991. In August 1997, the couple's marriage ended in divorce. Bean met actress Abigail Cruttenden during filming of Sharpe on November 22, 1997. In November 1998, their daughter was born. They were divorced in July 2000. Bean has four grandchildren in addition to his three children.

Georgina Sutcliffe, a comedian, began dating actors in 2006. Sutcliffe married Sutcliffe at the Marylebone Town Hall in London on February 19, 2008. He had postponed their planned wedding for "personal reasons" on the eve of the 2008 wedding. Domestic violence culminated in the police being called to their Belsize Park home three times in 2009 amid reports that Bean physically assaulted Sutcliffe. Bean and Sutcliffe's separation was announced on August 6, 2010, but a judgment nisi was released on December 21, 2010. Ashley Moore was married on June 30th, 2017.

Bean has been a fan of Sheffield United (the "Blades") since he was eight years old, and he has a tattoo on his left shoulder that reads "100 percent Blade." He founded the Hall of Fame in 2001 and, after making a six-figure contribution to the club's finances, he served on the board of directors from 2002 to 2007, which helped raise the club's profile. In 2007, he resigned to "go back to being an ordinary supporter" where he feels at home. During his time there, Warnock, the club's former manager, had a dispute with Bean who stormed into his office and yelled at him in front of his wife and daughter when the club had just been relegated from the Premier League. Bean denies it, calling Warnock "bitter" and "hypocritical." Sheffield United: The Biography, he wrote the foreword and helped to promote a book of anecdotes called Sheffield United: The Biography. He also follows Yorkshire County Cricket Club.

Bean's shoulder is engraved with the number nine in honor of his role in the Lord of the Rings films and the fact that he was one of the original nine companions of the Fellowship of the Ring. Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Orlando Bloom, Billy Boyd, Ian McKellen, Dominic Monaghan, and Viggo Mortensen have the same tattoo. Instead, John Rhys-Davies, whose appearance was also one of the original nine companions, arranged for his stunt double to get the tattoo.

Bean, a Marxist, expressed support for Jeremy Corbyn and "old Labour," the era before former Prime Minister Tony Blair rebranded the Labour Party as New Labour, and he expressed admiration for Tony Benn.

Bean is a Christian and a keen gardener who enjoys gardening in his spare time.

Sean Bean Career

Career

Bean came from RADA in 1983 and made his professional debut in Romeo and Juliet later that year. He started his career doing a mixture of stage and film roles. He adopted the Irish spelling of his first name as an actor. In an advertisement for Barbican non-alcoholic lager, he got his first national exposure. In 1984, he appeared in David and Jonathan by William Douglas-Home at Farnham's Redgrave Theatre. He appeared in Romeo and Juliet, The Fair Maid of the West, and A Midsummer Night's Dream between 1986 and 1988, as a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company. He appeared in Derek Jarman's Caravaggio (1986), opposite Tilda Swinton, playing Ranuccio Tomassoni, followed by the same director's War Requiem (1988). In 1989, he appeared as Dominic O'Brien in The Fifteen Streets, where he gained a following.

Bean made a name for himself on British television in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Bean appeared in Jim Sheridan's adaptation of the John B. Keane play The Field in 1990. Also in 1990, Anton in Windprints looked at South Africa's difficult problems. Clarissa (1991) (with Saskia Wickham and Lynsey Baxter) and Lady Chatterley (1993) (with Joely Richardson) appeared in the BBC series Clarissa (1991) (with Joely Richardson). He combined his passion of football with his work to finally fulfill his childhood dream of playing for Sheffield United, starring Jimmy Muir in the film When Saturday Comes. Bean received praise for his good work despite the fact that the film was not critically acclaimed. Bean first appeared in what became a well-known Sky Sports commercial in August 1997-98 Premier League season. When he narrated La Coupe de la Gloire, the official film of the 1998 FIFA World Cup held in France, his football-related work continued in 1998.

Bean's critical work in Caravaggio and Lady Chatterley contributed to his rise as a sex symbol, but he became most identified with the character of Richard Sharpe, the maverick Napoleonic Wars rifleman in the ITV television series Sharpe's, who is depicted as the sex symbol. The series was based on Bernard Cornwell's book The Peninsular War and the fictional lives of a group of soldiers in the famed 95th Rifles. Beginning with Sharpe's Rifles, the series followed Richard Sharpe's rise from Sergeant to Lieutenant in Portugal as he advanced from Sergeant to Lieutenant Colonel by the time of the Battle of Waterloo.

Bean was not the first celebrity to be chosen to appear in Sharpe. As Paul McGann was injured while playing football two days before filming, the producers attempted to cope with his injury, but it was impossible and Bean replaced him. The series ran from 1993 to 1997, with three episodes being released each year. It was shot in Ukraine and Portugal later in the year. After several years of rumors, more episodes were released: Sharpe's Challenge, which aired in April 2006, and Sharpe's Peril, which aired in fall 2008 and was later released on DVD. Both of these were released as two short 90-minute episodes per episode. Bean made the switch to Hollywood feature films with a role as enigmatic Lord Richard Fenton in the TV miniseries Scarlett. In the 1992 film version of Patriot Games, his first notable Hollywood appearance was as an Irish republican terrorist. Harrison Ford hit him with a boat hook, giving him a permanent scare. Bean's bruss appearance made him a patent candidate for a villain, and his appearance in Patriot Games was the first of a number of villains to be portrayed, some of whom die in horrific ways.

Alec Trevelyan, James Bond's nemesis, was depicted in the 1995 film GoldenEye (MI6's 006). In Don't Say a Word (2001), he played Spence, a girl-beating ex-con in Essex Boys (2000), and a malevolent kidnapper/jewel thief. Ian Howe in National Treasure was also known as a villainous treasure hunter, and he appeared in The Island (2005) as a villainous scientist. He plays a Russian mercenary who is lost in the tundra and is saved by an Inuit woman and her daughter, who then pits against one another in the independent film Far North.

Boromir was Bean's most well-known role in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. In the first instalment of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, his main screen time takes place. In flashbacks from The Lord of the Rings and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, as well as a snapshot from The Two Towers' extended edition. Rumours circulated that Jackson had considered Bean for the role of Aragorn, but neither Bean nor Jackson confirmed it in subsequent interviews. Bean's fear of flying in helicopters caused him to have problems in Mount New Zealand, where the trilogy was shot. He promised not to fly to a place again after a rough ride; in one instance, he took a ski lift into the mountains wearing his full costume (complete with shield, armour, and sword) and then walked the last few miles.

His acting abilities were more developed in other roles. His character walked a fine line between villain and hero in 1999's Extremely Dangerous. In 2002's Equilibrium, a strange alien cowboy in 2003's The Big Empty, and a sympathetic and cunning Odysseus, he became a repentant, poetry-reading cleric who succumbs to his emotions. In February 2002, he appeared alongside other Hollywood celebrities in Moby's "We Are All Made of Stars." He returned to the stage in Macbeth in the same year. Due to high demand, the production was delayed until March 2003.

Bean has performed voice-over work, mainly in the British advertising industry. He has appeared in television ads for O2, Morrisons and Barnardos, as well as Acuvue and the Sci-Fi Channel in the United States. He also handles the voice for the National Blood Service's television and radio campaigns. Bean also shot a TV commercial for Yorkshire Tea, a United Kingdom brand of tea. Martin Septim was the role playing video game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Bean's distinctive voice has also been used in the introduction and outro segments of the BBC Formula One racing coverage for the 2011 and 2012 seasons.

Faceless, Bean's one-hour pilot, was broadcast on television in the United States. He has appeared in Outlaw, an independent British film, and a remake of 1986 horror film The Hitcher (which was released in January 2007), and here he used an American accent again. In 2009, he appeared in the Red Riding trilogy as the malevolent John Dawson. Zeus, the king of Mount Olympus and god of the sky, thunder, and lightning appeared in Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010). Bean appeared in Cash in the lead role of Pyke Kubic, a volatile man determined to reclaim his fortune in the midst of a weak economy. Cash investigated the role that money plays in today's tough economic times. Reese, Bean's twin brother, appeared in the villain's version. Bean appeared in the first season of Game of Thrones, HBO's adaptation of the A Song of Ice and Fire books by George R. Martin, portraying Lord Eddard "Ned" Stark. Bean and Peter Dinklage were the two actors whose inclusion in show runners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss was deemed appropriate for the show's success, as well as for their roles in which no other actors were cast. His character earned him critical acclaim, as The A.V. notes. Ned's reviewer wrote it, "portrayed him as a man who knew he was in the mud but wished for better and hoped for more" during the ride. Bean, the show's leading man and best-known actor, was the subject of HBO's public relations.

Bean appeared in the second season of the Royal Television Society's best actor award in August 2012. He appeared in Soldiers of Fortune and the 2012 film Cleanskin, in which he plays a shadowy service agent faced with the challenge of finding and eliminating a suicide bomber and his terrorist cell. He appeared in Tarsem Singh's Snow White film, Mirror Mirror, which was also released in the United States in March. He also appeared in the ABC drama series Missing, which premiered in early 2012.

Martin Odum, an FBI agent who takes on various fictional identities to go undercover, appeared in the espionage television series Legends. After its second season, the show was cancelled. A big viral marketing campaign was centered around the hashtag #DontKillSeanBean, focusing on the various deaths of his previous characters and promising that his Legends' protagonist would not suffer the same fate. Despite the simplicity of the situation, Bean's campaign came to an end with a Funny or Die exclusive video starring him. Bean's character was so used to dying on camera that he wants his character to die a strangely gruesome death.

The Frankenstein Chronicles appeared on television Encore from 2015 to 2017. He appeared in several well-known films, including Jupiter Ascending, Pixels, and The Martian. Bean appeared in BAFTA's Broken Father Michael Kerrigan in 2017, earning him the BAFTA award for Best Actor. Bean, a late paternal grandfather, portrayed himself in 2019 in World on Fire, basing his interpretation on his late paternal grandfather.

Bean appeared on Josh Gad's YouTube series Reunited Apart, which reunites the cast of famous movies by videoconferencing and raises funds to non-profit charities. Bean reunites with fellow Lord of the Rings castmates Sean Astin, Orlando Bloom, Billy Boyd, Ian McKellen, Dominic Monaghan, Timothy McVies, Miranda Otto, John Rhys-Davies, Johann Marx, writer Philippa Boyens, and director Peter Jackson.

For the 3-part BBC prison drama Time, the actor was reunited with Jimmy McGovern (author of Broken and Accused) and Stephen Graham (his co-star in Tracie's Story).

It was revealed in September 2021 that Stefan Golaszewski's latest drama, Marriage, would air in 2022 and stars Bean alongside Nicola Walker. Both critics and viewers gave the series mixed reviews.
