He played pivotal parts in his hit films such asPatriot Games, GoldenEye, Ronin, Troy, andThe Martian. However, his recognizable roles were in two beloved franchisesLord of the RingsandGame of Thrones.

As Boromir inLord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ringand Ned Stark inGame of Thrones,Bean pierced audiences’ hearts with their deaths. The actor is set to go a full 180 with his next role where he plays the harsh father of Sergiu Celibidache, set to be played by John Malkovich in a biopic.

The film will also star Ben Schnetzer as a young Celibidache, along with Miranda Richardson, Kate Phillips, Anton Lesser, and Sean Bean. The latter will play Celibidache’s harsh and ruthless father who throws him out of the house and abandons him after he discovers his son wants to pursue a career in classical music.
The actor’s role in the film is a complete contrast to hisGame of ThronesroleNed Stark, who was an honorable and kind individual who often helped and took in underdogs under his care. While he may have had a short tenure on the franchise, he made a mark among audiences as one of the most large-hearted men amidst a crowd of scheming individuals in the show.
Stark taught his children the honorable way of life and even supported his daughter Arya when she had the knack for sword-fighting, something girls were not encouraged to do. He secretly protected Jon Snow and raised him like his own son despite being not his. When everyone mocked Bran for his lackluster shooting skills, Stark motivated him to not listen to the naysayers and improve his skills.

As despicable as his role sounds, there may be a silver lining to the character as the film progresses. it remains to be seen how Bean portrays the character when the film is released.
Sean Bean Often Checks if His Character Is Alive At the End While Reading Scripts
Sean Beanhas become infamous for being often killed in movies and TV shows. He has been killed off a ridiculous amount of times throughout his career (Lord of The Rings,Game of Thrones,GoldenEye,Patriot Games, etc) and it has quite become a funny trend where people have complied all of his death scenes on YouTube.
Major Game of Thrones Star Still Has Not Watched the Finale That Outraged Fans
This was brought up byThe Guardianwhen they interviewed the actor and they asked about this ‘death’ trend that he has been associated with. Bean stated that he is not bothered by it and doesn’t mind getting killed off if the role demands it. He hilariously pointed out that he now reads scripts from the back to check whether his character lives at the end. Bean said,
“I’ve seen that. Is it called a Death Reel? I’m not too bothered. If it’s a good part, it’s worth dying for. With scripts, I used to read from the end to see if I was still in them. I’d go: “Oh no, I only last until page 34.” When you’re starting out, you’re much more dispensable. Now they might keep me alive and get their money’s worth”
Bean was most recently seen in the mystery seriesShardlakewhich premiered on Disney+ on June 23, 2025. The series was received well by critics and audiences (78% onRotten Tomatoes). He will next be seen in the Sergiu Celibidache biopicThe Yellow Tie, led by John Malkovich.
