One of the most iconic characters in the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction is Old Bill, who is seen offering rum to some cats. But did you know he was originally going to appear in On Stranger Tides?

Happy birthday to Reggie Lee, who played two different characters in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise! He played Hadras in Dead Man’s Chest, and Tai Huang in At World’s End! He pulled off both roles so well that it’s hard to even realize they were played by the same person!

Happy birthday to both Mackenzie Crook and Ian McShane, who played Ragetti and Blackbeard respectively! Mackenzie Crook made Ragetti so iconic and I can’t imagine anyone else playing that role. I’m also a big fan of Ian McShane’s Blackbeard, I love his portrayal!

Despite only having a few minutes of screen time at the beginning of the film, The Curse of the Black Pearl first introduces us to Will and Elizabeth as children. Both Dylan Smith and Lucinda Dryzek do such a good job in setting up the foundation of who the characters grow to become!

For a few brief moments, we get to see human Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. I think they did a fantastic job translating certain features like his beard, nose, and eyes, which even as a human you can see and immediately think, “oh that’s Davy Jones.”

Happy birthday to Brenton Thwaites, who portrayed Henry Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Brenton was the absolute perfect choice to play the son of Will and Elizabeth, and I really hope we get to see him return if Pirates 6 ever becomes a reality.

James Norrington may have a tragic arc in Pirates of the Caribbean, but he’s without a doubt one of my favorite characters. Even when he reaches his lowest, he is still yearning for the life he once had. And when he gets that back, he finds out that it’s no longer what he wanted.

The opening sequence of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest is absolutely fantastic. The arrival of Lord Beckett and the EITC along with the arrest of Will and Elizabeth just shows how the stakes have been immediately raised right from the start of the film.
