Sean Bean dies everywhere
I think only Michelle Rodriguez dies as much as Mr. Bean (not that Mr. Bean, “Oh, noo”). Doug Benson even has a category in his trivia game about Sean Bean dying in many roles. Does the man enjoy dying in these roles? Even Sean knows about this Meme.
Bean is to dying as Nic Cage is to shitty acting.
Not only has he been killed by James Bond in Goldeneye, but by his competitor Jack Ryan in Patriot Games. Boromirgets “arrowed”. Lord Eddard Stark gets his head chopped off. Hell, he even died in a videogame. And, the man gets killed by cows...cows!
People over at TV Tropes call this trope “Chronically Killed Actors”. As stated, not only is Bean listed, but Michelle Rodriguez as well. From TV Trope, ((This is when an actor or actress appears in any number of movies, and there's a substantial number in which their character doesn't live to see the end of the film. Of course, it doesn't have to be that; there can be a few Disney Deaths thrown in the mix, but the idea stands that these performers have an unlucky habit of dying in a good chunk of the movies they appear in.))
To my surprise, someone actually compiled all of Sean Bean's deaths in a list here. (up to 2009) Here's another detailed list on this site.
Sean Bean actually had a brush with death over a piece of ass in London. He was chilling with his girlfriend (Playmate) outside a pub when some jack-hole started to make rude comments to his “old lady” and he stepped in like Ned Stark and got all medieval on his ass...literally. Bean, he didn't end up with a bunch of arrows in his body, received a knife wound in his arm. He patched himself up and continued to drink in the pub. I guess dying in at least 20 movies will make you tough.
