5 The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y., Friday, July 18, 2014 By Cassie Dresch TV Media Bean there, done that: It looks like Sean Bean is alive and well once again. The actor — who is per- haps infamously known for playing characters who die frequently — has made a bit of a legendary comeback in a new drama series entitled "Legends," premiering Wednesday, Aug. 13, on TNT. The show stars Bean ("Game of Thrones") as an undercover FBI agent named Martin Odum, who works for the Deep Cover Operations (DCO) division. He has an un- canny ability to transform himself into different perso- nas — which become his "legends" when he's done with them — for different jobs, but he meets a mysteri- ous stranger who simply asks him, "Who are you?" As Martin struggles with ques- tions about his own identity, he still needs to continue working in his primary job, and he takes on legends such as a Scottish soccer club execu- tive, a legendary computer hacker and a corrupt Chicago police officer. "This is certainly some- thing I'm looking forward to sinking my teeth into, the dif- ferent personas," Bean told reporters at WonderCon back in April. "It's every actor's dream to play different char- acters. It's a bit weird, really ... Like, last week, I played three characters in one day. But it's OK, because you have time to adjust." Based on the novel of the same name by award-win- ning author Robert Littell, the show also stars Ali Larter ("Heroes") as another FBI agent who has a history with Martin and Amber Valletta ("Revenge") as Martin's ex- wife. It still remains to be seen if Bean's character, Martin, will reach an untimely end or not. You can check it out for your- self when "Legends" pre- mieres Wednesday, Aug. 13, on TNT, but when he spoke at WonderCon and was finally asked the question on everyone's minds, he responded with a laugh, "I'm alive so far!"
