Wednesday night, TNT premieres its new series
Legends, starring Sean Bean. Bean plays Martin Odum, an undercover FBI agent that works in the Deep Cover Operations (DCO) division. As such, Odum takes on a multitude of fabricated identies called "legends." Odum, however, begins to question everything when someone suggests that "Martin Odum" may be just a legend as well.
Bean talked to SciFi Vision about his favorite legend he has played so far. "I guess one of my favorites, perhaps the favorite, was the original character that was first created and that was Lincoln Dittmann and he was a kind of stumbling big geeky guy, kind of victim complex so just wants to latch on with other people.
"Then I'm one of these kids at school, you know, and the big kids, the big guys and the grownups and the people just above their class. And just to give them a sense of importance. And he was like that but really he was penetrating the hearts of the organization and ripping it out, ripping it to pieces.
"So it was a good front, it was a good legend to use for this particular occasion."
