You may not know Sean Bean's name, but chances are you'd recognize him right away from his appearances in THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy, his role as Bond villain 006 in GOLDENEYE, or his popular UK tv character Richard Sharpe from the Sharpe Series.

Three reasons to love Sean Bean 

1) He's a regular bloke who likes his footie (Sheffield United, aka the Blades), dotes on his daughters... and just happens to be an international movie star.

2) When he's good, he's very, very good....

3) And when he's bad... he's better!

    cHi. I `m from Barcelona! I love Sean Bean, he's a brilliant actor ,althought I think who he's an actor understated in hollywood because always offer him small roles and roles of evil, when he can doing any role. In Spain he is not well known and many of his films are very difficult to find.
    Sean Bean, forever!

    I am 70yrs old so probably old enough to be his dad, but yes I think he is a good actor , and he fits the Sharpe character admirably, but can also do a good baddie role when he needs too.
    Being a Sheffield United fan and knowing Sean is too, I recently sent him some photos about the Blades , one from the air above the ground. I sent them to via an address supplied me from Radio Sheffield, but as yet have not had confirmation of him having recieved them plus a letter attached.
    I would like to contact him to affirm reciept of said items, so if anyone out there can help me, I would grateful.

    Wow. Someone signed up to be a #4 wife? Ok, I know, it's Sean. Still. Need to find one of the clips of the Vicar of Dibley where she's praying to Jesus and Sean. :-)

    To the best of my knowledge, he doesn't have a fan club that you can write to. All the ones I've found are fan-run, not "official" and exist on the internet.
