10 Movie Deaths Not Even The Actors Saw Coming

10. Dean Keaton - The Usual Suspects

This one is pretty infamous amongst film buffs, but poor Gabriel Byrne wasn't just surprised by the death of one of his most famous characters. The Irish actor wasn't even aware, until after opening night, which character he was actually playing.

In 1995's twisty mystery The Usual Suspects, Byrne plays one of the more central criminal associates involved in mastermind Keyser Soze's convoluted plan, and like the rest of his crew, he bites the bullet early into proceedings before the rest of the film is told through flashbacks.

However, Byrne believed his character would be revealed as Keyser Soze, meaning he actually survived, resulting in a nasty surprise for him when the film debuted.
