Save Sean Pertwee
17 years ago
Why does he have to die in every film?
Is it possible to be typecast for dying?
Don't get me wrong, Sean dies some fantastic deaths. Doomsday; burnt/cooked alive by cannibals. Perhaps even more fantastically in Dog Soldiers as the one that turned into the werewolf with his guts still hanging out.
I have this theory that at some point during his career he has come into contact with either Steven Seagal or Wesley Snipes and contracted a new form of the most feared of cinematic diseases. Snipes, Van Damme and Seagal all have the fatal "Straight to DVD" bug, but does Sean Pertwee have "Straight to RIP"?
Doomsday.
Dog Soldiers.
Even Horizon.
Equilibrium.
Wilderness.
He's died in all of these. Though Equilibrium was a bit of a shit death as his character had already died of natural causes and he was impersonated by someone else.
I also think that maybe he did a deal with the devil to be a famous actor, but instead of being tortured in hell for all eternity, he has to spend a lifetime appearing in films just so he can die in them and his soul will only be free when he appears in a Disney film.
I think Sean desperately needs to find a film script and audition for a character that isn't going to get eaten or turn into a monster or killed in some gruesome fashion, before it's too late.
In all seriousness now, I believe that Pertwee needs to find more roles like in 7 Days To Live, a role he played so well that I was convinced that he was the character as opposed to a person pretending to be one. It's a far cry from his usual swear-and-die parts that continue to grow tiresome like an entire series of Quantum Leap.
