Does Sean Bean Really Die More Than Other Actors?

Quote
Actor Sean Bean has been dying over and over again for 20 years. He’s been dropped from a satellite dish in Goldeneye, shot through the neck with a grappling hook in The Island, peppered with arrows in The Lord of the Rings, and decapitated in Game of Thrones. But with the number of Sean Bean fatalities caught on camera brought back into the spotlight with his new show Legends, maybe it’s time to put the many demises into perspective.
 Start looking at the numbers, and many leading actors have died at least a few times. A long enough career can rack up the kills. For example, Robert de Niro has died on screen 19 times. Other stars like Leonardo DiCaprio have died 9 times. So where does Sean Bean fall along this list?

The Sean's notoriety for dying in his films has less to do with the number of times than it does with the methods of his characters' deaths. They tend to be more spectacular than most and he tends to do them sooooo very well.

It is not every day that someone dies by being run off a cliff by cows.  Of course that has happened before in westerns but I don't recall any being as dramatic as Sean's death in The Field.  This is an interesting link in that it lists what IMDB thinks are the actors that have died the most.  I was surprised to see John Hurt has died the most, over 40 times.  In this list Sean comes in second.
