It turns out that in the ranking of actors who died on screen most often, Sean Bean is far from in first place.
The on-screen death of a character is something that any actor who has played more than a dozen roles in his life has to deal with. After all, sooner and later you will definitely be offered to play the character who, in the course of the plot, has to put away his skates - there are no options.
The Internet has long been joking about British actor Sean Bean, whose characters supposedly die most often in Hollywood movies. But this theory has already been refuted online by calculating the exact number of deaths of Bean’s characters and other actors. Yes, someone really got that crazy!
