{{quote|'''Q:''' If Sean Bean and a [[Black Dude Dies First|black guy]] are both in a horror movie, which one dies first?
Sean Bean's breakout role was the [[Field Promotion|field-promoted]] British officer, Sharpe.
'''A:''' Sean Bean plays the black guy.

'''Sean Bean'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s breakout role was the [[Field Promotion|field-promoted]] British officer, [[Sharpe]].
 
He followed this up by portraying lot of bad guys who die a lot. In fact, seeing Sean Bean's name in the credits could almost be considered a spoiler, because it is almost certain that he will be a [[Face Heel Turn|good guy who turns bad]] and dies.
Line 10 ⟶ 14:
He purportedly wanted to become a professional footballer when he was younger before he went into acting.
 
His personal [[Memetic Badass|reputation for badassery]] has greatly benefited from [https://web.archive.org/web/20120101153335/http://twitchfilm.com/news/2011/06/sean-bean-stabbed-in-bar-fight-orders-another-drink.php recent reports] of a [[Major Injury Underreaction]] after an altercation in a pub in 2011. Unfortunately, [[Domestic Abuse|other reports]] haven't been as complimentary...

=== Tropes invoked by this actor: ===
* [[Badass]]: [http://twitchfilm.com/news/2011/06/sean-bean-stabbed-in-bar-fight-orders-another-drink.php True story.] He got into a bar fight with a guy who refused to apologise after insulting Bean's [[Playboy]] [[Playboy Bunny|model]] girlfriend. After the other guy [[Major Injury Underreaction|stabbed him with broken glass and gave him a black eye]], Bean [[Greater Need Than Mine|refused the offer to call him an ambulance]], [[Made of Iron|patched himself up with the bar's first aid kit]], [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|and ordered another drink]]. That, my good Tropers, is a [[Badass]].
* [[Chronically Killed Actor]]: The poster child. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEhtsgu6bJg And how].
** Averted in ''[[Mirror Mirror]]''. His character is thought be dead, but {{spoiler|was actually cursed to become a beast by the Evil Queen. He does become human again}}.
* [[Domestic Abuser]]: Several reports of him being this in [[Real Life]], sadly.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Your mom has a crush on him, my mom has a crush on him. Everyone's mom has a crush on him. Your girlfriend probably wants him too.
* [[Not Even Bothering With the Accent]]: Bean pretty much sticks with his native [[Oop North]].
** He doesn't have to bother for ''[[Game of Thrones (TV)|Game of Thrones]]''. There, it's just perfect.
** This is not, by the way, to say that he can't do a foreign accent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJNalQUKhxo very well.]
* [[Rule of Sean Connery]]
* [[Stage Names]]: His birth name is Shaun, but he picked the Irish spelling.
* [[Typecasting]]: Apart from ''[[Sharpe]]'', ''[[Troy (Film)|Troy]]'' and ''[[Flight Plan]]'', most of his roles are either villainous/suspicious, or someone who dies.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes]]: During filming of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', he was terrified of taking a helicopter to a filming location in the mountains. Enough that he took to what most people would be the far scarier option of [[Badass|climbing the mountain in full costume]].
