You can kill Sean Bean's character, but you can't kill his spirit or his talent! With The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones among his credits, Sean Bean is no stranger to playing a starring role in an adaptation of a book, which may come in handy in taking on the lead character in Legends, the latest drama to get the greenlight from TNT. Then again, based on the trailer, it looks like this character is having a bit of an identity crisis. The series is executive produced by Howard Gordon (Homeland, 24), Alexander Cary (Homeland) and Jonathan LEvin (Charmed) and is based on a book by spy novelist Robert Littell.
