Captain Jack Sparrow is a fictional pirate and main character in the Pirates of the Carribean movie trilogy (Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl(2003) and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006). He is played by Johnny Depp. Depp claimed Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards and Pepé Le Pew (from Looney Tunes) were inspirations for his performance (though Errol Flynn was also an influence), which earned him a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Actor.

Biography
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
In the fictional realm of Pirates of the Carribean, Captain Jack Sparrow commands the legendary and accursed ship named the Black Pearl. In some versions of the script, it is said that Jack was a cartographer before he became a pirate, and this was how he discovered the location of the Isla de Muerta.

About ten years prior to the start of the film, while searching for a legendary cache of Aztec gold, his crew mutinied and marooned him on an island with a pistol containing a single shot (allowing the deserted an opportunity to kill himself rather than die slowly from starvation, according to some versions of real-life pirate codes). Sparrow escaped, however, and went looking for revenge against the leader of the mutiny: His former First Mate, Barbossa. Sparrow kept the pistol and shot for the purpose of killing Barbossa.

While imprisoned, Sparrow meets Will Turner, the son of "Bootstrap Bill" Turner (who was the lone holdout from the mutiny, an action that cost him his un-life). Sparrow, familiar with the legend of a "heathen curse" that has since struck the crew of the Black Pearl, knows Turner's child is the only one who can break the curse, and sees Will as the means to get back command of his ship. Turner, though fiercely disapproving of piracy, agrees to go with Sparrow to Tortuga to find a ship and crew and sail to Isla de Muerta to track down the Pearl and rescue Will's love interest, Miss Elizabeth Swann—kidnapped from Port Royal by Barbossa (after she identified herself as "Elizabeth Turner") in order to reverse the curse.

Sparrow's most obvious physical characteristic is a slightly drunken stagger, accompanied by random flailing hand gestures that make him look unfocused (or possibly slightly ataxic). Attributed to the heat stroke he was rumored to have suffered while marooned—he actually spent that time cavorting with the rum runners who helped him escape and was unlikely to have suffered anything worse than a severe hangover—Sparrow's gestures are believed to be a ploy to help keep his enemies off-guard. His perpetual drunkenness could also lead to his tendency to slur his speech.

While atypical for a pirate, Sparrow is also known for his altruistic nature; he often puts himself in harm's way to save other people, most notably Will and Elizabeth. The film's script suggests Jack's kind nature is part of the reason why his crew mutinied—when Jack offers a nonviolent way to find a piece of the cursed Aztec gold on the Navy ship Interceptor, Barbossa claims, "Jack, that's exactly the attitude that lost you the Pearl. People are easier to search when they're dead." Additionally, he appears highly adept at employing game theory to achieve his ends.

At the end of the first film, Sparrow is once again Captain of the Black Pearl. In the second film, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Jack is racing to pay off a debt owed to the legendary Davy Jones. However, he has the Navy and Lord Cutler Beckett to deal with.
