Keith Richards Cast for "Pirates" Sequel By Sullivan Smith
Johnny Depp had stated that Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards was one of the main inspirations for his character Jack Sparrow in last year's hit Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl. In the sequel, set to begin filming in February, we'll see why.
Disney has announced that Richards will star as Sparrow's father in the as-of-yet untitled sequel.
Richards has appeared in a film acting role before, in 1994's Rebirth of the Babymaker, which you more than likely did not see. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------
THIS aught to be friggin' funny. For some reason, I really CAN see a lot of Richards in Cap'n Jack.
The Pirates' sequel is titled Dead Man's Chest, with the third film being called World's End.

What sucks more is that almost half the main cast have died now. Richard Biggs (Dr. Franklin) in 2004, Andreas Katsulas (G'Kar) in 2006, and Jeff Conaway (Zack Allen) passed away last year.
