Re: the Sean Bean link, I've noticed a few other actors who tend to die in character a lot - like Joaquin Phoenix, I remember actively looking for movies he didn't die in at one point after Gladiator and a couple of others, though he doesn't do that so much later on in his career, and I know there was another I kept thinking of who I cannot remember now Willem Dafoe, who I should have been able to think of faster than I did ;) - I actually am fairly sure Willem can at least compete with Sean overall. I'll go and read the article now.

Second edit, interesting article.
