Does anyone die more frequently than Sean Bean?

So this montage of Sean Bean screen deaths never fails to make me laugh. It’s as if someone really hates Sean Bean, and spent hundreds of millions of dollars so that they could kill him over and over again.

Can anyone think of any other actors who just seem to die all the time? Alan Rickman seems to bite it a lot (often as villains), as does Liam Neeson (often as a father/mentor figure) but I don’t think they come close to Bean in sheer volume.

“Are you a die’r, Mr. Bean? You any good at death scenes?”

Michael Beihn.

One does not simply survive to the end of the film.

Kenny on South Park!
~VOW

Michael Shanks?

OK, so it was only in Stargate SG-1, but he did seem to die an awful lot in it. :smiley:

Wilhelm. :wink:

What movie is the first (before the titles) example in that montage from?

Steve Buscemi?

Are there any movies where he doesn’t die?
What makes it happen so often for him?

Arthur Darville and it’s the same character.

Ronin, though he does get exposed as a fraud and kicked out of the mercenary club. “What color is the boathouse at Heresford?!”

National Treasure, though he does

Get arrested and presumably gets a long sentence.

Not a movie, but a series - he doesn’t die in Sharpe.

He does almost die an awful lot, though.

He’s a prolific actor, and he’s played a lot of bad guys and tragic figures, so its only natural for him to have a lot of deaths.

Thanks to playing Odysseus he did manage to survive the movie Troy.

He’s good looking, but he’s not good looking enough to be the male lead. That’s why he tends to play the villain or the second male lead, neither of whom are known for their extended life spans. The only time he plays the lead is in Indie films, where leads also have a high death rate.

Christopher Lee is probably up there. He’s had a long career and he frequently plays villains due to his imposing size and voice. And it’s not just his looks. If the Lord of the Rings commentaries are to be believed, he apparently stabbed a Nazi in the back during WWII.

He apparently has the same outlook as Michael Ironside.

He was Zeus in some movie and didn’t die :slight_smile: That’s the only one I remember.

Michele Rodriguez.

She dies so often there is a TV Tropes page dedicated to her: “Tends to die in movies, but in ways that make Eastwood[URL=“http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ClintEastwood”] look like a pussy.”
