![]() Parse appears to be every bit of the cold, arrogant businessman that would make him a villain, describing his guests as "boring" and giving his potential son-in-law Alex the cold shoulder. In Brandon Cronenberg's Possessor, Bean plays wealthy CEO John Parse, who becomes the target of the psychic assassin Vos. However, the most brutal fate Sean Bean has suffered on screen was not death. That Bean hasn't died on screen in over a decade and meta jokes like a Ned Stark reference in Snowpiercer exist suggest that he might be aware of this reputation and trying to move away from it, but the continued memory of these two deaths in fantasy stories shows just how well Bean was able to connect with audiences in a short period of time. The reason why Bean has become associated with dead characters more so than Trejo or other actors is in part because his two best-known roles, Boromir and Ned Stark, both have extremely memorable deaths that are important for setting the tone of the stories they appear in. At 22 on-screen deaths, Bean doesn't even make the top 10, and with Trejo continuing to stay busy, it seems likely that he will only build his lead in the decades to come. ![]() ![]() Most of the actors on the list have simply appeared in a lot of action or horror films, while Bean has been more selective in the film roles he takes. A study cited in The Independentfound that Danny Trejo, a Robert Rodrigeuz favorite, has died the most, with 65 on-screen fatalities, beating out Christopher Lee's 60 and Lance Henrickson's 51. Despite the frequent jokes about his characters' deaths, Bean isn't even close to the record.
