I left school when I was 16; then I worked for my father, who was a welder. And I was a welder for three years, you know, welder of fabrication, metal 'cause it was a big industrial town, Sheffield. It was much steel and coal and stuff like that. Sean Bean bigcoalfabrication share on social

Sharpe is my favorite role of all that I've played. He's a very complex character. He knows that he's a good soldier, but he will always have to fight the prejudice of aristocratic officers because of his rough working-class upbringing. On the battlefield, he's full of confidence - but off it, he is unsure, a bit shy and ill at ease. Sean Bean aristocraticbattlefieldbite share on social

I've been into lots of auditions, and I'm sure I've lost a lot of jobs through that because I'm pretty dreadful at reading. Sean Bean auditiondreadfulhave Change image and share on social

Everyone was very deeply involved in the world of 'The Lord of the Rings'. From the wardrobe department to lighting, all were fascinated with the story. This is something that does not happen usually. Sean Bean deeplydepartmentfascinate Change image and share on social
In theatre, once you've got the character and you've got things together, you can relax into it. Film has a different feel - you don't get that through line of not stopping. Theatre is like a snowball gathering momentum and getting bigger, whereas in film, it's a bit stop and start - but you do tend to adjust to that quite easily. Sean Bean adjustbigbite share on social
