Name: Shaun Mark Bean Birthdate: April 17,1959 Birthplace: Sheffield, Yorkshire, England, UK Height: 5'11" Hair Color: blonde Eye Color: green MINI BIOGRAPHY Sean worked for his father's welding firm before he decided to become an actor. He attended RADA in London and appeared in a number of West End stage productions including RSC's "Fair Maid of the West" (Spencer), (1986) and "Romeo and Juliet" (1987) (Romeo) , as well as "Deathwatch" (Lederer) (1985) at the Young Vic and "Killing the Cat" (Danny) (1990) at the Theatre Upstairs. Sean has three young daughters, Lorna, Molly and Evie. SPOUSE Abigail Cruttenden (22 November 1997 - 2000) (divorced) 1 child Melanie (I) Hill (1991 - 1997) (divorced) 2 daughters, Lorna and Molly Debra James (11 April 1981 - ?) (divorced) TRIVIA Daughter, with Cruttenden, Evie Natasha born [6 November 1998] Sean is a devoted follower of the Sheffield United Football Club. He was a presenter at the 1995 BAFTA Awards. In a scene midway through Sharpe's Honour (1994) (TV), Sharpe and Marquesa Dorada are galloping down a hill on horseback when they suddenly tumble off the horse and land in the middle of a shallow stream. The scene is real; the horse stumbled as it was crossing the stream, sending Bean and co-star Alice Krige down into the water. Director Tom Clegg liked the scene and kept it for the final cut. Sean was not the first choice for the role of Richard Sharpe in the Sharpe series; he stepped in when an accident prevented actor Paul McGann from taking the part. Made his professional stage debut in Romeo and Juliet (as Tybalt) at the Watermill Theatre in Newbury, England, in 1983. Appeared in Moby's video for "We Are All Made of Stars" [2002] Sean Bean was awarded an Honorary Doctorate degree from Sheffield-Hallam University in England, in 1997. Sean Bean has a "100% BLADE" tattoo on his left shoulder, in honour of his favourite football team, the Sheffield United Blades. The tattoo is frequently converted (with makeup) into a scar - or a different tattoo - when Sean is filming. FILMOGRAPHY 1. Troy (2004) .... Odysseus 2. Big Empty, The (2003) .... Cowboy 3.
