Luckily, he was warned before he decided to get involved in the project. However, even his more honorable roles didn’t always have a happy ending, as we learned all the way back in Season 1 of Game of Thrones. He continued: “I did do one job and they said, ‘We’re going to kill you,’ and I was like, ‘Oh no!’ and then they said, ‘Well, can we injure you badly?’ and I was like, ‘OK, so long as I stay alive this time.'”īean said that while he loved playing “baddies” on screen, the roles weren’t all that rewarding in the long run as they always ended with his death. “I just had to cut that out and start surviving, otherwise it was all a bit predictable.”

I’ve said, ‘They know my character’s going to die because I’m in it!'” Bean explained. In an interview with The Sun, the actor said that while he was fine with being killed off at first, as the Sean Bean Death Toll got well into the double digits, he decided something had to change in his approach. Sean Bean is so sick of his deaths on screen that he’s decided to swear off any roles in which his character doesn’t make it through to the end credits. While sometimes your character might get killed off at some point in the TV show or movie you’re in, for Sean Bean, this has happened a whopping 23 times and he just can’t take it anymore. Whether your preferred genre is action, adventure, comedy, or drama, projects that portray characters with real depth-and hopefully some decent screen time-are the goal. As an actor, you want to take on roles that you can really sink your teeth into.
