“It’s my favorite death scene, and I’ve done a few,†Bean told Entertainment Weekly, seemingly seeing the humor in his reputation. “You couldn’t ask for a more heroic death.â€
After attempting to steal the Ring from Frodo, Borimir redeems himself by protecting Merry and Pippin from the the Uruk-hai. He valiantly holds them off, but is mortally wounded by the Uruk-hai chieftain. It’s an incredibly powerful scene, which ends with Borimir sharing a touching moment with Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) before succumbing to his wounds.
Out of the many times Bean has died on-screen, it’s easy to see why his heroic turn as Borimir is his favorite.
