BJ - yep, summer break . . . how could you tell?
Ring twisting and cheek scratching . . . have we seen those in roles? Should we include interview ticks along with acting mannerisms . . . or are they ticks? Maybe it's ALL acting, regardless.
The only time I've ever seen him sit almost absolutely still was in that long interview he did about the Blades - it was on BladesWorld - when they were planning the march on Parliament. He was extremely composed and calm; resolute in his conviction, direct in his gaze and well-spoken.
Granted, he was discussing something that was clearly very, very important to him, but I had to wonder, 'who is the REAL Sean Bean? That guy - or the eye-averting shy fella with the cheeky grin and the portfolio of twitches and ticks?'
