Naturally, Bean backs his Game of Thrones son Richard Madden (Robb Stark) for the role: Remember: Bean’s James Bond villain was personally killed in 1995’s Goldeneye by then-Bond Pierce Brosnan. Moving on, Bean weighed in on who he’d like to play the next James Bond after Daniel Craig exits the role. Martin wanted to happen to Ned - and it did.” But I wish I’d have got stuck now!

That includes being thrown from a satellite dish in Goldeneye, being peppered with arrows in The Fellowship of the Ring, and of course, getting beheaded in Game of Thrones. Sean Bean long ago became synonymous with death, meeting his maker in a variety of ways onscreen.
