WATCH Sean Bean In TNT's 'Legend,' 'Game Of Thrones' Actor Stars In New Crime Drama!

Known for their popular hit shows, such as Falling Skies and Dallas, TNT now adds the intense new series, Legends, to their must-see lineup. Based on the best-selling book by novelist Robert Littell, Game of Thrones actor Sean Bean stars in the new action-packed spy drama from Homeland executive producers Howard Gordon and Alexander Cary.

In Legends, Bean plays Martin Odum, an undercover agent working deep within the FBI's Deep Cover Operations division. Martin has the uncanny ability to transform himself into a completely different person. But when the agent starts to question his own identity, Martin isn't quite sure about who he's supposed to be.

During our interview, MStars acknowledged that not only does the English actor have to physically alter himself for each character; he also has to find the voice for each persona.

Bean explains the process, "I didn't want to make any big obvious changes, like wearing a wig or mustache, and stuff like that. I wanted to make them more subtle and more kind of physiological rather than physical, even though they did have their own particular physical attributes."

Under a fast-paced schedule, the Lord of the Rings star found subtle ways to appear differently, especially when the features didn't have to be physical. On the show, notice how Lincoln Dittman is a big geeky guy who latches onto other people.
