Google is random!
Looking through my visitor logs this morning I stumbled across a referral from Google with the search criteria of sean bean david wenham similarity. How did I show up in the top 20 for that?
In any case, here’s the similarity: They both played essentially the same character in Peter “May something larger than his ass crush his cranium” Jackson’s travesty that is called Lord of the Rings (even though it really isn’t).
Boromir was a power hungry git, but Faramir was supposed to be all sorts of noble. The thought of Boromir crying as he layed out his soul to Aragorn (didn’t happen in the book, BTW. Aragorn found the dead body and didn’t hear some sappy confession from Boromir). Faramir didn’t try to take the ring to Gondor. In fact, he recognized the danger of the ring and fully supported Frodo’s quest.
Ah, but what does Tolkien know. Peter “Why can’t you catch Ebola and bleed out” Jackson has so many better ideas. I’m shocked he didn’t put a giant robot in the movie just so he could use bad CGI.
