Sean Bean is celebrating his 66th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor Sean Bean (Silent Hill: Revelation 3D, Silent Hill, The Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 66th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Bean, a cultural icon

Born Shaun Mark Bean in Sheffield on April 17, 1959, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Bean's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Sean hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Sean Bean as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 66.

Happy Birthday, Sean, you're the best!
