who almost falls under the evil influence of the ring.
The Credits: Renowned for playing burly, working-class lads and
manipulative villains, Bean is a charismatic force in the British
film and
theater world. Credits include GoldenEye, Ronin and Patriot Games.
Semi-famous for frolicking nude and saying "ooh-arr"
