Black Death
Sean Bean is a British actor who has enjoyed a career that has spanned over twenty years and brought him plenty of notable roles.
But, like every other actor he has also made some real tosh! So to celebrate the best and the worst of Sean Bean.
The actor made his name in TV and set many ladies hearts fluttering with the role of Richard Sharpe, the Napoleonic Wars rifleman.
The series ran between 1993 to 1997 and Bean emerged as a sex symbol as his career began to rise. He returned to the role in Sharpe's Peril in 1998, which picked up where Sharpe's Challenge left off.
Bean's biggest movie success came in the form of The Lord of The Rings trilogy as he took on the role of Boromir.
The Lord of the Rings is one of the most successful franchises of all times as the three movies; Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and Return of the King, dominated the box office over the three years that they were released.
You know it's hard to believe that the first two movies failed to pick up Oscar but the cast and crew all got what they deserved in 2003 when the movie picked up eleven Oscars, including Best Picture.
The British actor seems to have carved a career for himself as the Hollywood villain, he is always the bad guy!
In 1995 he took on the role of Alec Trevelyan in Golden Eye, Pierce Brosnan's first time as James Bond.
The movie was a big hit critically and commercially as the film grossed over $352 million at the global box office.
And in 2004 it was another villainous role of Bean as he became Ian Howe in Disney's National Treasure, in which he starred alongside Nicolas Cage.
Despite mixed reviews from the critics the movie was met well at the box office and surprisingly took in excess of $347 million as it topped the box office.
But for all of this success Bean has also made some terribly bad movies but this can be said of absolutely every actor.
The Hitcher is just one of the movies that he may perhaps want to forget as it was savaged by the critics and criticised for being "interested in cheap shocks, and gratuitous gore and torture."
However by some critics Bean's performance was praised and the movie did open number four at the box office.
Another horror movie that didn't perform to well for the actor was The Dark back in 2005, which was based on the Simon Maginn novel Sheep.
Now computer game movies have never been a big hit at the box office and sadly Silent Hill followed suit.
The film took just $97 million when it was released, making just a $47 million profit.
But Bean is back on the big screen this week with his new movie Black Death, which also stars
Carice van Houten, Eddie Redmayne and Kimberley Nixon.
In medieval England fallen under the shadow of the Black Death, a young monk called Osmund is
charged in leading a fearsome knight, Ulric and his group of mercenaries to a remote marsh.
Their quest is to hunt down a necromancer - someone able to bring the dead back to life. Torn between his love of God and the love of a young woman, Osmund discovers the necromancer, a mysterious beauty called Langiva.
After Langiva reveals her Satanic identity and offers Osmund his hearts desire, the horror of his real journey begins.
Black Death is released 28th May
