Sean Bean 'Legends' Role Creates #DontKillSeanBean Campaign; 25 Of The Actor's Best Death Scenes

Sean Bean has been blown up, ripped apart, chased down by cows and even shot in the head by Sophia Bush. But finally the legendary actor known for meeting a grim fate on-screen will get a break from dying during his latest stint on the TNT drama “Legends.”

According to reports, Bean, who plays the lead role of FBI agent Martin Odum on the series, will stay “relatively intact” throughout the first season of “Legends.”

“He was excited to play a role he didn’t have to die in,” the show’s executive producer, Brad Turner, quipped during the 2014 ATX Festival. The EP added that fans can expect Bean to make it to the Season 1 finale of the dark, thrilling drama.

But Despite Turner’s reassurance, TNT cultivated the clever campaign slogan “Don’t Kill Sean Bean,” which has since become a social media phenomenon thanks to Bean-loving fans.

Can you blame them for their skepticism? Bean does have an usually high TV death rate. Just check out the 25 most gruesome times he died on-screen below:

1. “Game of Thrones” (2011): Beheaded – Eddard “Ned” Stark met a surprising demise on the HBO adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s book when the Lord of the North was beheaded. Winter came, saw and conquered.

2. “Age Of Heroes” (2011): Although the movie ends before Major Jack Jones’ fate is revealed, viewers are supposed to assume (due to historical records) that Jones died during World War II while trying to save his fellow commandos. Commendable, Bean.

3. “Black Death” (2010): Quartered – During this medieval movie Bean meets his most gruesome death to date while portraying the character of Ulrich. While simultaneously suffering from the plague, Ulrich is quartered, which is when each limb is tied to a horse who is sent galloping in the opposite direction. It’s a bloody fun scene to watch.

4. “Death Race 2” (2010): Shot – Bean, who plays a mob boss named Markus Kane, dies when he’s shot in the chest. His character then pulls a “Great Gatsby” when he gracefully falls into a swimming pool.

11. “Henry VIII” (2003): Hung – Bean seems to have an odd relationship with kings throughout his acting career. During “Henry VIII” Bean plays the traitorous Robert Aske who is eventually hung by chains due to his treachery.
