Captain Jack Sparrow Surprises Students Looking to Mutiny Against Teachers Dan Koelsch, October 9, 2010 Captain Jack Sparrow took a slight detour in his sails to the farthest reaches of Earth. Johnny Depp, star of Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, stopped by a primary school in England as the famed Captain after nine-year-old Beatrice wrote to Jack asking him to help them mutiny against their teachers.
