Sean Bean is the king of death when it comes to an acting career. He is the original "dies in everything guy," which means he's died in too many things to list here. Suffice it to say Bean has the market cornered when it comes to onscreen deaths from Golden Eye to Game of Thrones to Lord of the Rings, he makes his death scenes count. He's been shot, stabbed, beheaded, axed, arrowed, run over, and electrocuted. In all, Bean has died in more than 25 films/shows.
Those were ten actors who are frequently killed off in moves.
