I thought we were talking about **Mr. Bean** , who seems to never die.

But Blackadder dies at the end of every series!

Note for [Sean Bean fans](http://www.compleatseanbean.com/chatterley.html): Ken Russell’s _Lady Chatterly_ is streaming on Netflix…

Nah, he just screams a lot. 😃

I’m watching Bean in **Black Death** as I write this, which leads me to wonder if anyone ever compiled how many times he _kills_. Between this and GoT, the man is a stabbing, slashing, slaying machine.

Oh, and a hearty _hell_yeah to the man’s fuckability. Yum!

Same here, because I know him best from the _Sharpe_ series (where he kills a lot and a lot of people, but does not die himself!)

Corporal Hicks, although wounded, survives _Aliens_, if only to die off-screen before the beginning of _Alien 3_.

I’d nominate Bill “Pvt. W. Hudson” Paxton, who not only dies in _Aliens_ (if the bugs _didn’t_ finish him off after dragging him through the floor, he surely perished in the explosion - it produced a cloud of vapor the size of Nebraska!), but also _Navy S.E.A.L.s_, where he plays Dane, the unit’s sniper. Biehn’s character survives both of those movies.

[del]Hudson[/del] Paxton also dies in _Frailty_, _Predator 2_, the original _Terminator_ … uh, _Near Dark_, too - but you might say he’s already dead before the movie begins…

He survives _Weird Science_, though!

So I just stumbled across this article, [http://www.geekspeakmagazine.com/archive/issue16/features/the\_many\_deaths\_of\_sean\_bean\_1.htm](http://www.geekspeakmagazine.com/archive/issue16/features/the_many_deaths_of_sean_bean_1.htm) which details 25 different Sean Bean deaths.
