SEAN BEAN BECAME a household name in 1993 as Mellors in BBC1’S Lady
Chatterley and
ITV’S Sharpe.
Hollywood soon beckoned, with the Sheffield actor starring in Goldeneye, The Lord of the Rings trilogy and National Treasure. He returned to TV in Game of Thrones,
The Frankenstein Chronicles and Broken, and won an Emmy for his performance as a transvestite in Jimmy Mcgovern’s Accused in 2012.
HIS NEW ROLE
THIS WEEK, the 59-year-old appears as himself in the final episode of Sky Atlantic’s raunchy comedy series Sally4ever. When newlyweds Sally (Catherine Shepherd) and Emma (Julia Davis) arrive at a fancy Scottish hotel for their honeymoon, Emma gets food poisoning while Sally bumps into Bean, who’s also staying there. A jealous Emma insists that Sally introduces her to the actor and then spends the rest of the evening trying to impress him.
