The actors enumerated here are very famous and are out of questions very talented. They can portray many nice characters, and why not the ones that are being killed. Since you can act well, you can portray a dramatic death of the character too. Only a talented person can be that convincing on screen. I have respect to all the actors from this article for making the Hollywood movies special and make me proud of it.
Wow, Sean Bean, twenty five deaths on the screen , ha ha, I guess Sean has such a bad character that movie producers are not able to stand him for too long, as a result they kill his character in the middle of the movie. Hmm, it is just me being sarcastic, in my family discussing death on all kinds of holidays is a habit already, no matter what we start talking about, it eventually finishes with talking about deaths, the favorite topic is most awkward and silly deaths. I really like that. I wish everyone could have that much fun talking about it as family has, the world would be much more positive in this case, not to mention that it will become much easier for every person to pass into the other world.
Funny Leonardo di Caprio has died for nine times in the movies, that just brought me to the idea that he is like a cat, unfortunately cat has only nine lives, so Leo should be better more careful as next time might be the last time. I am just kidding, I love him as an actor too much in order to allow just a thought that he might die soon, it is not his time yet, he haven’t done everything he can for the cinema world yet in order to die, the time just haven’t come yet. I am very sorry for the fact that his year he haven’t got the Oscar, though he really deserved it, I think there is some problem with this ceremony and everything is set up, because his performing was just perfect, as usually. Probably he has some bad karma or something as it already is getting not funny that he losses one more Oscar while really deserving it.
I love Bruce Willis, and now am a bit shocked that he “died” in that many movies, as the only two movies that I was able to figure out where he dies were “Armageddon” and “Sixth Sense”, I love both of those movies as they are the type of movies after which you keep thinking of them for a very long time even after you have watched them. Gladiator movie where Russell Crowe has performed is same kind of movie which I simply love. Hi hi, I find it hilarious the fact that in two of the movies he was killed by Demi, probably it was a bit of joke from the scenario writers. I guess I need to download those two movies and see them, as feel myself now as a silly Billy for not knowing all those things.
