Bean Facts

Sean auditioned for London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in April 1980. One of 30 successful applicants (out of a field of 11,000) to win a scholarship, Sean began studying at RADA in Spring 1981. He was awarded a silver medal for his graduation performance in Waiting for Godot in Spring 1983.

From October 2002 until March 2003, Sean is appearing onstage in the UK in Macbeth.

Never one to shy away from doing his own stunts, Sean carries a souvenir from his appearance in Patriot Games: during the climactic fight scene Harrison Ford accidentally cut him above his left eye with a boat hook, an injury which required 8 stitches to close.

Sean's first marriage was on 11 April 1981 to hairdresser Debra James, his childhood sweetheart in Sheffield.

Sean has two daughters, Lorna (born in October 1987) and Molly (born in September 1991) from his second marriage, to actress Melanie Hill. Sean and Melanie were married on 27 February 1990 and they divorced in August 1997.

Sean is divorced from his third wife, actress Abigail Cruttenden, who played Jane Sharpe in the Sharpe television series. Sean and Abigail married on November 22, 1997. They had one daughter, Evie Natasha, who was born on Friday, November 6, 1998.
