Jack Sparrow
Captain Jack Sparrow, Captain
of the Black Pearl, has become an Icon: the girls love him and the guys want
to be him. He has been in
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the
Black Pearl,
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's
Chest, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's
End, and he will soon be on the big screen
again for
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
which comes to theaters
on May 20th, 2011. He can
also be found in the video game Kingdom
Hearts 2, and has his own book
series called
Pirates of the Caribbean: Jack Sparrow.
These consist of 12 books total aimed at young
readers, but I have read these and really
enjoyed them.
Sparrow was born at sea, but makes port
quite frequently in
Tortuga, and has been marooned on a
certain deserted island on a few occasions.
Jack Sparrow's father is Captain Teague; he
also has his right hand man Mr. Gibbs,
Will Turner and Elizabeth
Swan/Turner.
Captain Jack Sparrow has a very common
pirate outfit, he has long hair with
dreadlocks that have beads in them, a
braided goatee with beads, a red bandana, a
leather pirate hat, a white long sleeve
ruffled shirt,
navy blue vest, a red and white sash
loop, a brown belt, a over the shoulder
belt, brown pants, brown boots, a compass
that points to the thing you want the most,
a sword, a pistol, and rings on his fingers.
He also wears a coat at times in the films.
Jack Sparrow was played by
Johnny Depp and he modeled his
character after Keith Richards. Sparrow is
voiced by
James Arnold Taylor in Kingdom Hearts
2 because Johnny Depp was filming a pirate's
movie when they needed to do a voice over in
the game.
Captain Jack Sparrow can be found in Pirates
of the Caribbean at Disney Parks around the
world. He also does a show at Disney World
daily outside of the Pirates of the
Caribbean attraction. So make sure you stop
by and visit
Captain Jack. Savvy!
