Sean Bean has been in several movies, usually paying a 'bad guy'. He was in Ronin, and Don't Say a Word. He was also in a terrific movie, in a good guy role, though this one was made after LoTR, called Equilibrium. See it if you can find it. He played a Rifleman in the British Army in Europe during the Napoleanic Wars. His was the title character based on a series of books by Bernard Cornwell. He also played a modern British soldier who was held as a prisoner of war during the First Gulf war. I can't think of the name of it right now, but it was a good movie.

We musn't forget his part Alec Trevelyan in Golden Eye, that's when I first noticed him. He plays such a good bad guy. But I want to see him play a smoochy good guy. Whatever happened to his The Big Empty movie? It came out last November but I never knew it was playing. I wonder when it will be on DVD.

I haven't seen any of the Sharpe series. I really want to but no rental place in town carries them. I looked on Ebay to buy them, but they want 14.99 or so for one of them, and all of them for about 125.00. I'd hate to spend so much on one and then wish I had the whole, and I can't afford the complete set right now. some day I will buy them.

Oops! I just realized I might have confused you about the Sean Bean movies. Equilibrium is set in a future not unlike 1984. He was actually offered the small part because someone on the set had seen LoTR and liked him a lot in it. This person wasn't sure he'd do it, but they asked and he did. The series about the British Rifleman is the Sharpe series, about which Rose posted and showed the DVDs.
