Sharpe/Trivia
- Retroactive Recognition: Happens a lot watching the older TV episodes nowadays, because of many actors in early roles who went onto greater and/or geekier things:
- Daniel Craig as a Lt. Berry, a minor villain.
- Philip Glenister as a workers' rights leader and Sharpe's long-lost brother
- Brian Cox as Major Hogan, Lord Wellington's spymaster.
- Alice Krige as a Femme Fatale French spy.
- Elizabeth Hurley as one of Sharpe's love interests.
- Alexis Denisof as a rich male appendage who steal's Sharpe's woman.
- Paul Bettany as Prince William of Orange.
- Pete Postlethwaite as Obadiah Hakeswill.
- Arguably, Sean Bean himself is also better known worldwide now for his role as Boromir in The Lord of the Rings.
- What Could Have Been: Paul McGann was originally cast as Richard Sharpe, but he broke his leg while playing football only a few days into the shooting of Sharpe's Rifles. Sean Bean was recast in the role and... well, you know the rest.
