In a similar vein, how dangerous is Richard Sharpe? Put it like this - he survived the Napoleonic wars while being played by Sean Bean.

Sean Bean has something of a reputation for playing characters who get killed, even when he's not the bad guy - Ned Stark and Boromir are the famous ones, but a quick look through his IMDB page will find a lot more.

Sharpe is the eponymous hero a series of historical military fiction novels by Bernard Cornwell (fun and broadly accurate, if rather formulaic), made into a TV series staring Sean Bean. It's been observed that surviving the whole peninsula campaign requires an impressive degree of toughness or luck - doing it while being played by Sean Bean, doubly so.

He played Odysseus in "Troy", who survived. (Went on to star in a whole new epic, in fact - Odysseus that is, not Bean.)

Odysseus, like Sharpe, survived a war. And a twenty-odd year voyage home with most of the Olympian gods out to get him. Being played by Sean Bean was just one more challenge after all that...
