A few things Bean in honor of his day

[linaewen]

April 17 -- Sean Bean's Birthday! Not that I really celebrate, exactly, but it gives me the perfect excuse to spam you with Bean bits. ;-)

In addition to my current favorite picture of Sharpe which I have used as my icon, here are a few pictures...










And some trivia for all of you who thought that Sean Bean died more often than not in his films -- proof that he's actually more tenacious about living than dying...

Here it is - The List.

Every production Sean has been in...and the ultimate fate of the characters he's played. Including the many roles where his character doesn't die. Really. He doesn't die. Honest
