He was beheaded in the "Game of Thrones", pierced arrows in the "Lord of the Rings", buried alive in "Do not say a word" and not only. In 2014, the number of deaths of his heroes provoked a campaign under the social networks called "Do not kill Sean Bina". Fans even tried to find actors who died on the screens more often than he.
The 60-year-old actor said that such a tendency would even harm career. The star does not like that viewers from the very start begin to guess that his character would die, just because he played herself. Therefore, when Sean was offered the role of Douglas Bennett in a military drama from BBC One, the actor exhaled, because his hero will finally live. Bean was delighted with the fact that the Douglas scenario survives and remains safe at home in Manchester.
The new character of Sean is very different from those roles in which the audience got used to see him. According to the plot, Douglas Bennett suffers from post-traumatic stress, which caused World War II. Sean said that in the process of preparing for shooting, it was indeed met with people suffering from combat psychological injuries. The actor admitted that he always wanted to play a character who was broken from the inside. And this time he finally gave this opportunity.
