December 2007:
"Generation
Kill" is in the making as of end October, when they started shooting in
Maputo, Mozambique, with Sean in the role of corporal Daniel Redman.
Directed by
Simon Cellan Jones & Susanna White, on a script written by Ed Burns &
David Simon, the HBO mini-series is scheduled for TV release world-wide in
2008.
October 2007:
Don't miss
Sean in the 5th episode of the
Dubplate drama!
August 2007:
According to unconfirmed rumours, Sean has
been cast in the HBO mini-series “Generation Kill”, produced by
Company
Pictures. The story is based on the eye witness accounts of writer Evan
Wright, who followed one of the first battalions that entered Baghdad at
the onset of the invasion of Iraq.
Also, it seems
we'll be seeing more of Sean in the second season of
Dubplate drama which is currently in the making.
July 2007:
The Sunday
Express reports: ”
One is Sean Brosnan, the hunky young son of the former James Bond star.
And the other is Sean Brosnan, the star of Pot Noodle commercials and
regional comedy theatre. No prizes for guessing which is which but after
some 40 years in showbiz the older Sean has lodged a complaint to the
actor's union Equity about the confusion of having two actors bearing the
same name. Explains Tricia Howell, agent for the senior Sean: "My client
is a lovely chap and doesn't like to make a fuss. But Pierce Brosnan's son
did say he would put another letter like Sean B Brosnan into his name to
distinguish it, and he hasn't." Indeed much confusion has resulted over
their names since the 23-year-old Sean decided to go into acting. "We
often get scripts with roles which are plainly aimed at the younger Sean,
" sighs Miss Howell. But not often the other way round. Happily the Sean
senior has plenty of work, albeit less glamorous. Last year he was in a
production in Milton Keynes of When Did I Last See My Trousers? and this
summer he is starring in There Goes The Bride at the Sheringham Little
Theatre in Norfolk. The other Sean is, apparently, filming in a somewhat
glossier production in Africa.”
How amusingly pathetic! One is almost
impelled to ask “Is this guy for real?”. And the answer is: “You betcha!”.
– In fact, a few years back, when he launched his website, he actually
describes himself as “the real Sean Brosnan”. Get that?! The REAL one!
*LOL* Oh pe-lease, how self absorbed can a grown man get??
Let’s all be merciful and spare the poor
fellow an anxiety attack by not alerting him to the fact that there is yet
ANOTHER actor named Sean Brosnan (residing in Long Beach, CA), not to
mention all the other (non-fictional) Sean Brosnans that come to light if
you google the name on the internet. :)
I don’t quite get it. Why does this man,
who is in his 60’s and has a long list of accomplishments on his CV, feel
so intimidated by our young hero? Clearly, they will not be auditioning
for the same part anyway, so our Seany poses no threat whatsoever to the
career opportunities of the oldtimer. Mrs Howell herself states that a
glance at the script will reveal which one of the SBs it is intended for…
Just how many wrongly delivered scripts are
we talking about here, anyway? Truckloads full, or…? If it’s the odd
envelope every other month or so, why not simply courteously PASS THEM
FORWARD?
Ah, well that seems to be because there is
more passing on than receiving, I gather. (?)
So, there are more scripts calling for
young, fit men in their 20’s than for older guys in their 60’s?! What else
is new? – And yet, I am told that the foremost shortage is in scripts for
mature females!? So instead of lamenting that he’s no longer 20, maybe the
oldtimer should be grateful that at least he's not a woman!?
But instead, he resorts to this bitter
transference. Aided by his agent, he blames Seany for answering to his
birthgiven name as well as for the actions of other people (i.e. media
and supporters). As if Seany has any control over how the media refers to
him or what his supporters call him in discussion forums and on
websites?!?
For the record, Sean DID put a B into his
name. His supporters all know that his stage name is Sean Brenden (check
the index page!), but when we talk of him, we refer to him simply as Sean.
Why? Well, because he always was Sean to us, I suppose, because it is the
name his parents gave him. Fact: our young hero did not TAKE the name to
spite the oldtimer, he was GIVEN IT by his parents AT BIRTH. So honestly,
I think he has equal rights to his name!
Oh, and I don't know about the media, but
his supporters don't get him confused with others carrying the same name,
I assure you.

I am amazed. Not by
the statement - if in deed Sean did say that. No, I am amazed that with
all the exciting things currently unfolding in Sean's professional life,
this is what Contactmusic considers newsworthy?!? Tabloid points to
Contactmusic!
