A new BBC drama stars heavyweight performers and an excellent crew behind the camera. Titled Marriage, the show is created by Stefan Golaszewski, who is best known for his work on the BAFTA-winning sitcom Him & Her. Here’s a description of the plot of the show, according to What To Watch: “Marriage on BBC1 sees married couple Ian (Sean Bean) and Emma (Nicola Walker) negotiate the ups and downs of their 30-year marriage. They’ll deal with all the insecurities, the ambiguities, the hopes and the fears that are part of all marriages. The drama also explores the risks and the gifts of a long-term intimate relationship.” As already mentioned, the show brags an ensemble of popular performers, many of whom have appeared in major blockbusters in the past. If you want to learn more about the actors set to appear in this series, read ahead. Here are the cast members of the upcoming TV series Marriage.
Sean Bean
Sean Bean is set to star in Marriage as Ian. Bean is an actor who has appeared in a number of popular films, including The Lord of the Rings, GoldenEye, National Treasure, and The Martian. He was born in Sheffield, England, in 1959, and began his career appearing in theater productions. He made his film debut in the 1984 film Caravaggio, and has since appeared in over 60 films. In addition to his work in film, Bean has also appeared in a number of television series, including Game of Thrones and Legends. He is a versatile actor who is known for his ability to play both heroic and villainous roles. Bean has been nominated for several awards during his career, including a BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role. In an interview with Spear’s, Bean talked about whether he preferred TV over film (or vice versa), to which he replied: “I don’t really have a preference. Ten, 20 years ago, everyone wanted to do film, but the quality of television is so fantastic now that it doesn’t really make much of a difference. I think television is superior to film in many ways. You have more time to tell a story in more detail and depth. I’ve not been on stage since 2003. I played Macbeth on the West End. That was a fantastic experience.” He also talked about his favorite role: “Sharpe is one of them. It was a saga that went on for some years in different territories and different battles. I made some good friendships and just enjoyed the wonderful stories: a cavalier, daring, can-do attitude that Sharpe embraced. The other is a Jimmy McGovern series called Broken, in which I played a priest [Father Michael Kerrigan]. That was a fascinating journey for me. Jimmy wrote it with me in mind, and it came out beautifully.” Lastly, for anyone curious, the publication also asked him to choose between The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones, to which he replied: “I’m leaning towards The Lord of the Rings. Only because I was 13 when I read the book and I never would have imagined I’d be in it and be a part of something very special. Mostly I was just in the Fellowship of the Ring and obviously I met my death – but it was a wonderful death!”
