One does not simply have a nice day when Winter is coming.

Or maybe everybody else will die and he’ll be the last human remaining.

Even as a video game character he doesn't survive.

He did alright in Sharpe

he looks super annoyed though

Maybe one where he's trying to film a fantasy movie he's also starring in. The opening scene is his execution, all dramatic like in GoT, but when the guy swings the axe the head doesn't fall off and everybody gets sprayed with blood because it's a mannequin.

Smash cut to Sean Bean in normal clothes yelling "Cut! cut! Can we please turn the blood off?"

now that’s a project for 2025 I can get behind

What was that weird movie where he leads a small troop of guys into a small town and gets suspicious of the people there and then they draw and quarter him? Because that was honestly even more brutal.

Sharpe always seemed to be having much more fun than anyone around him, but that was Napoleanic era.

There's almost certainly already fluffy fanfic about that.

His role in The Frankenstein Chronicles always made me chuckle.

And he died anyway

Black Death, anyone ?

Do you count the Sharpe series? It's all early-1800s warfare, but he's the main guy for like eight seasons.

He was sort of Boromir in Ronin too.
