Sean Bean stars as James Crusoe in NBC's "Crusoe."

Sean Bean gained international fame as Boromir in Peter Jackson's multi-Academy Award-winning "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, part of an acting career that spans film, stage, and television.

The Sheffield native worked as a welder before turning to acting and undergoing classical training. After graduating from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, he joined the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Sean Bean's notable initial starring roles on-screen included ones in Mike Figgis' "Stormy Monday" (with Tommy Lee Jones, Sting, and Melanie Griffith); Jim Sheridan's "The Field" (with Richard Harris, Brenda Fricker, and John Hurt); and Phillip Noyce's "Patriot Games" (opposite Harrison Ford).

Sean Bean's next role made him one of the U.K.'s best-known stars; he was cast as novelist Bernard Cornwell's enduring character Richard Sharpe, hero of the Napoleonic Wars, in the 1993 telefilm "Sharpe's Rifles." Sean Bean starred in the role 14 more times for director Tom Clegg in subsequent telefilms, including the recently completed final project, "Sharpe's Challenge."

Sean Bean's other feature films include Martin Campbell's "GoldenEye" (opposite Pierce Brosnan in his debut as James Bond); Bernard Rose's "Anna Karenina;" John Frankenheimer's "Ronin;" Terry Winsor's "Essex Boys;" Gary Fleder's "Don't Say a Word;" Esmé Lammers' family film "Tom & Thomas;" Wolfgang Petersen's "Troy;" Jon Turteltaub's "National Treasure;" "The Island" (directed by The Hitcher producer Michael Bay); Robert Schwentke's "Flightplan;" Christophe Gans' "Silent Hill;" and Niki Caro's "North Country" (opposite Charlize Theron and Frances McDormand).

Sean Bean roots for Sheffield United whenever and wherever satellite reception allows.
