I think just learn to respect the good things in life like the arts, literature, music, poetry, the stuff that people didn’t treat as some kind of privilege or something that you had to be the type of person to able to appreciate that art. What could politicians learn today from the Medici? It’s just a pity he can’t just twist his opinions in the other directions, isn’t it, because he’s a brilliant speaker. He seems a totally different kind of personality. I watch him and - I don’t like his politics - but I like watching him.īut that’s the paradox right now, because he doesn’t seem as though he would promote Trump. It’s difficult to find a politician that you can believe today. I mean, he’s quite convincing, isn’t he? He believes what he says. My character today would probably be him. So are you sort of the Steve Bannon of the Medici?

I’m kind of a manipulative, Machiavellian type. But I kind of just tend to stir it all up, then walk away, and everybody else is involved. So this season there’s more action and there are more battle scenes than in the first season, right? But I’ve done quite a lot of sword fighting in the past, so, it was a lot easier. But once you get the swing of it, it was a real joy to work on.ĭid you have to pick up sword fighting again? It takes awhile to find your feet on location.
SEAN BEAN GOT SERIES
The Hollywood Reporter spoke with Bean about the relevance of his Medici character today, his “mental” Curfew role and how he hopes the upcoming Lord of the Rings series and Game of Thrones prequels will provide something new and authentic for fans. through Charter Communications via its Spectrum Originals.
SEAN BEAN GOT DRIVERS
The show, which also stars Adam Brody and Billy Zane, follows a crew of amateur drivers who gather from around the world to compete in an illegal nighttime street race. Because sometimes, for Sean Bean, death becomes a big pile on.And early next year, Bean can be seen in the Sky One television series Curfew.
SEAN BEAN GOT MOVIE
Also, in keeping with his previous tentpole movie double-death (anchor + explosion), turncoat Alec got to both fall and get crushed. He also got to (sort of) die twice, as his traitorous 00 Agent, Alec Trevelyan, was thought to be dead for half the movie, only to then pop up and surprise Bond later. Goldeneye (1995)Like with Patriot Games, Bean actually got to make it to the end of Goldeneye, Pierce Brosnan's first (and best) Bond movie. Making Harrison Ford make vintage Harrison Ford action face.

Bean, in rare form, actually got to get his licks in before he perished - getting to beat on Harrison Ford with both a metal pole and a massive anchor. But it still counts as a death even if one makes it to the final reel. Of course, he was the villain and Ford was the hero so there was no way he was escaping this film in one piece. Patriot Games (1992)Bean first became known to American audiences thanks to his vengeful role opposite Harrison Ford in Patriot Games. "I came out to have a good time and honestly I'm feeling so attacked right now." And if there was ever a more massive clue that death was seeking the man out, Final Destination-style, it was watching Bean's McCabe get driven off a cliff, almost comically, by a herd of stampeding cattle. But in 1990's The Field, Bean played an peaceful Irish farmer. Professions which make it easier for the viewer to understand why he might be, all of a sudden, screaming in agony. The Field (1990)Sometimes Sean Bean's played a spy. Here are ten of the actor's most notable screen deaths. Sometimes he's deserved it, most times not. Legends ReviewOver the years, everyone from 007 to Jack Ryan to a massive Tolkien Uruk-hai has put Bean in the dirt. Despite the fact that the man, in real life, is a triple-tough son of a bitch who got stabbed in a bar fight in 2011 - only to walk back into the pub for a pint afterward. Sean Bean, thanks to literally dozens of roles where he's been violently killed, has gained the unusual notoriety of being freakin' great at dying. But more likely Odum's just going to be the hero throughout, taking down bad guys on undercover missions while being drawn into a larger conspiracy about his own identity.

In which case we'd be watching the first time Bean's ever been killed off before the story even starts. Of course, it could be the case that Bean's character on Legends, FBI Agent Martin Odum, is already dead. Or, in the case of Legends, at least all the way until the series finale, when all bets would be off. After over two decades of meeting graphic, vicious ends in movies, perhaps Bean felt it was time he made it all the way to the closing credits. I know! Well, the guy's gotta mix things up every once in a while. It debuts this week on TNT and from what we can tell, all signs point to Sean Bean.
