The Man, The Death, The Legend: Every On-Screen Sean Bean Death

It's a well-known movie cliché that actor Sean Bean meets his end in nearly every role, whether it's in a major blockbuster or a smaller TV drama (or a massive fantasy epic). However, as you scroll through this list compiled by Imgur user "FrostyLady," you'll quickly realize this isn't just a wild exaggeration based on a few examples. Sean Bean has collected an impressively long and varied list of death scenes, meeting his fate through stabbing, drowning, impaling, crushing, hanging, and even a unique demise involving a cow.

We're big fans of Sean Bean and think he's a brilliant actor—unsurprisingly, we loved him most as Boromir in The Lord of the Rings trilogy (well, technically just the first one, since, you know, he didn't make it to the end). While we're sure he's had roles where he actually survived the entire plot, this list provides a humorous look at his infamous on-screen fates.
