Sean Bean: Jeanne Jakle: Sean Bean seems to be 'Missing' in new show (MY SAN ANTONIO)


Jeanne Jakle

For starters, why do characters portrayed by Sean Bean, one of the most appealing actors around, keep getting killed off?

It was distressing enough when one of the few men worthy of respect on HBO's "Game of Thrones," Bean's Ned Stark, was beheaded. So I was somewhat comforted to learn that Bean was starring in a new ABC action drama, "Missing."

But nooo. As you'll see in Thursday's 7 p.m. premiere, Bean's character, a CIA operative named Paul Winstone, dies when his car is blown to smithereens in the first few minutes. Then why is his name high in the credits of "Missing" alongside Ashley Judd?

At a recent ABC press session, creator Gregory Poirier supplied an answer: "Sean is a very integral part of the story, but he appears in flashback form. So we start to unravel what led us to this point in terms of what has happened in the past. So Sean Bean is very much present in the future episodes but in a flashback way."
