Sean Bean is trading one brand of intrigue for another.The "Lord of the Rings" actor, who stars in HBO's upcoming "Game of Thrones," has taken a role opposite Ashley Judd in ABC's series "Missing."
The show centers on Judd's character, who travels to Europe to track down her missing 18-year-old son; it becomes apparent rather quickly that she's not just a concerned mom, but also a former CIA agent. Bean will play her late husband, who appears in flashbacks, Deadline reports. ABC has already ordered 10 episodes of the series from writer Greg Poirier ("National Treasure: Book of Secrets," "Gossip").
Bean plays Lord Eddard Stark in "Game of Thrones," which premieres April 17 on HBO. His other credits include the "Red Riding" trilogy, "Flightplan" and the first "National Treasure."

So Sean Bean always seems to play characters who get killed before the end of the movie, and this time he's playing a character who's already dead :)
All kidding aside, this is awesome. I'm a big fan of Sean Bean, and can't wait to see what he does with this show.
I am excited to see the premier of Game of Thrones on the 17th! It looks like it will be pretty good and the cool thing that I found out from Dish Network where I work is going to be having a free 3 day preview starting on April 15th and ending on the 18th So be sure to catch the premier of Game of Thrones!
