Captain Jack Sparrow

Captain Jack Sparrow is a fictional character from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise who is portrayed by Johnny Depp.

Sparrow is the Pirate Lord of the Caribbean Sea and can be treacherous, surviving mostly by using wit and negotiation rather than weapons and force; although he will fight if necessary, he tries to flee most dangerous situations.

Sparrow sports dreadlocks, an aesthetic influenced by Depp’s rock n’ roll approach to pirating. In addition to a red bandana, Sparrow wears numerous objects in his hair, sports eye makeup and has several gold teeth.

According to screenwriters, Sparrow is a trickster who uses wit and deceit to attain his goals.  He walks with a slightly drunken swagger and has slurred speech and flailing hand gestures. He alsowears a three-cornered leather hat.
