However, he is only average in height and a bit too overrated as an actor.
Apologies, folks, I did my utmost to 'satisfy' the 'Beany' fans and upgrade our dearly beloved Sean. Just look at all those photos of him next to 5ft10 Viggo Mortensen Sean Bean is slightly shorter than him. But then, again, charitable as I may endeavor to be, I cannot help myself but be honest and state that he's no more than 5ft9. But since it's 'Easter', I'll be religiously charitable (a irreverent atheist, nonetheless) and situate him with then 5ft9/5ft10 range. That said, Sean Bean (albeit a 'lanky guy') was considerably shorter when standing next to my circa 6footer spouse. Mark Bazeley is roughly the same height as I am (currently a very high 6footer-circa 7ft, albeit will irreverently shrink with age due to the relentless ravages of time left in its wake.) my spouse is circa 5ft11/6ft (although she most modestly and humbly categorizes herself within the 5ft9 range-she may think so, but not quite.). My wife and I (my 'fiance' at the time.)waited after the theatrical production of Macbeth to meet and discuss a bit with the cast (yes, back then we could actually do that-good ole times!). As eyes never lie nor deceive, Mark Bazeley towered over Sean Bean with uncanny ease. I had seen and afterwards met Sean Bean at the theatre when he had performed the role of Macbeth (Mark Bazeley was Macduff)in London.
