Sean Bean
He worked for his father's welding firm before becoming an actor. He made his acting debut in 1983 at the Watermill Theatre in Newbury, Berkshire, England, as Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet. He is best known for his role as the fictional character Boromir in the Lord of the Rings movie series and, in the United Kingdom, as Richard Sharpe in the television series Sharpe. His popularity in the Sharpe series was made into an in-joke in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Other notable appearances include as an Irish terrorist in the 1992 film adaptation of Patriot Games, and as a Bond villain in 1995's GoldenEye. Bean also featured in Moby's music video "We Are All Made of Stars".
He has been married and divorced three times, and has three daughters: Lorna, Molly and Evi.
