Character Bio:
| He was born in 2978 to Denethor II and Finduilas.
His father is the current steward of Gondor, the kingdom of which
Aragorn is true heir. For generations the people of Gondor have taken
no king, instead they have appointed a series of nobel stewards to
govern the country hoping that the true heir would return. Boromir
initially travels to Rivendell seeking the meaning of a recurring
dream, fortelling the return of that which killed the last of Gondor's
kings. He learns that this is in fact the 'One Ring' now in the possession
of Frodo. Boromir, like the last king of Gondor realizes that the
power of the 'ring' can be used to defend his kingdom, which is nearest
to the Dark Lord Sauran's domain and has been under constant attack
for generations. He is amazed when it is soon revealed that the one
known as Strider is the lost heir to the thrown of Gondor. Filled
with doubt about Aragorn's true origins and about what should be done
with the 'Ring', Boromir never the less is compelled by honor to join
the 'Fellowship' in it's journey to destroy the 'One Ring'... |
Actor Bio:
| He was born April
17, 1959 and raised in Sheffield, of Yorkshire, England, where he
lived with his parents Brian and Rita Bean, and younger sister Lorraine.
He left school at the age of 16. School was followed by a variety
of odd jobs, before he discovered acting while attending Rotherham
College. Sean Bean has dazzled audiences in such films as Essex Boys,
Ronin, Airbourne, Anna Karenina, Goldeneye, When Saturday Comes, Scarlett,
Black Beauty, Shopping, Patriot Games, Caravaggio, Lorna Doone, The
Field, Stormy Monday and Windprints, among others. He will next be
seen in the sci-fi thriller Equilibrium and in Gary Fleder’s
Don’t Say a Word with Michael Douglas. He is currently shooting
Tom and Thomas for director Esme Lammes. For television, Bean has
starred in numerous BBC productions including: "The Sharp Series,"
"Bravo Two Zero," "Lady Chatterley," "Clarissa,"
"Prince," "Tell Me That You Love Me" and many
more telefilms. Bean has appeared in several stage productions for
the Royal Shakespeare Company including, "Romeo and Juliet,"
"Fair Maid of the West," "A Midsummer Night’s
Dream". |
Actor Commentary:
"He was a complicated
and complex man. I found that really interesting to get to grips with.
He's very mixed up, trying to do what's best for his people - a gentleman
really, but he's in an environment where he's been on the forefront
of war so he's had to be strong. But within there is a gentleman of
very good quality."
"He's constantly fighting this battle, to keep down this desire to own
the ring...He goes through quite extreme emotions during the course
of the film. And that's what I was trying to get across, this kind
of inner struggle."
