When we went to dlp in may we went to where jack sparrow was supposed to be and he was never there! Our hotel had him booked in for one night, and he hardly wanted to sign autographs or hae photoographs taken. Not been interested in Pirates of the caribbean so is Jack Sparrow supposed as pathetic as the one we met?
I don't like him too much either (prefer real pirates :P ), when we saw him he nearly pushed us into a bush.
I don't like him too. I don't know, but he's supposed to be a copy of the perfect interpretation of Jack Sparrow from johnny Depp. And this is quiet impossible. :wink: :cry:
It all depends on which actor you meet. Of course the actor has to look and act like Johny Depp, also meaning he has to be a bit like 'yeah whatever', but some are more interactive then others (which will always be the case with characters, none are the same). I quite like the way how some actors interpret Depp's Jack Sparrow though...
Him almost pushing guests into the bushes and not being interested in being on pictures is mostly part of the act... then again it just depends on how realistic you bring it, it can be funny but some people might think you're just an uninterested and unfriendly actor :wink:
I do not care much about Jack Sparrow... as I do like Depp better anyway...
but about the act... we had several years ago a meeting with Captian Hook wich refused to have his picture taken with us or even sign my autographbook.. so that is just... part of the act I think... at the moment I thought it was weird... but later I did understand (after I became of the shock... lol)

Err... I haven't met dlrp's Jack Sparrow, but when I was younger and into the whole character autograph thing Captain Hook was very willing to sign and pose for a photo. So, I'm not sure whether it is meant to be a part of the Hook act...
It makes me laugh when people criticise the performance of the park's Jack Sparrow, yet apparently have no problem when Mary Poppins isn't Julie Andrews... I suppose Jack has a far more distinct character though.
Jack Sparrow has been hilarious every time I've seen him, especially when he decides to go for a jaunt across Adventure Isle and always manages to lose his trail of desperate fans in the caves, who are left wandering around wondering where he went... :lol:

than I guess he just did not like me... :wink: I dunno.. he just did not wanted to sign... maybe he was going on a break or something.. I really don't know.. all I know that even little kids did not get an autograph either.. but well.. maybe kids cried to much and they changed that or something.. I really don't know.. otherwise... it was just me.... lol
I think this should not be part of the role. Refusing signs especially to small children is not funny at all. Villians can behave a little nasty but the should give you signs and should be possing for photos.
I met Jack Sparrow once last year and he was really kind..
Also he really looked like Jack Sparrow :wink:
When we finally met "Jack Sparrow", it was in our hotel. He was rude,and ignorant. There were disabled people including my brother waiting to see him and he hardly acknowledged them which in my opinion is wrong. I know that some people take their casting roles seriously but that was ridiculus. Even the hotel staff had to ask him to sign books for people as he just wanted to stand by a post.
I just want to take a picture with him and nothing more :lol: Noone can ever "imitate" Johnny, but I'm sure the actors do their best to be a Jack Sparrow ;)
I have to agree with nala.
I think it isn't easy to imitate Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp).
Some of them may seem rude but Jack is a little rude and ignorant that's part of his character.
I saw Jack at your last visit, he looked amazing and acted ignorant, funny but also nice.
Maybe there are some Jack Sparrows who exaggerate a bit.
It isn't just Jack Sparrow. Just like WDI1992 said "It all depends which actor you meet"
@Angela: Well than Hook doesn't like me either. I had the same experience as you had. :)
we met jack at blue lagoon restaurant back in january. Actually he was great. He really looked like the one we know from films and he acted exactly the same way is the "real one". We took a photo with him, but the funniest situation was when somebody from the boot screamed Jack Sparrow. He stoped immediately turned to the boot and screamed "Captain Jack Sparrow"..... Great

Yes infact I was thinking the same, why it bothers me to bring out a real Jack Sparrow and why the real Mary Poppins do not bother me. I think it's just because Jack Sparrow is a Chracter created from Johnny Depp. And he has put a lot of hisself in it. Maybe I'm just a very big fan of johnny depp and so I want to see him as Jack Sparrow and not someone else ?! :roll: :oops:
I met Jack Sparrow at DLRP last October, in front of POTC, and he was wonderful! It was after a bit of a manhunt (i.e. going over to Adventure Isle about every hour for 3 days before going to ask at City Hall where he would be and when!), but when we did finally meet him it was so worth the wait! He was so funny and nice with everyone, and I got a lovely photo with him. :) And then, a few hours later, we headed back to Adventureland for lunch at the Blue Lagoon, and he was leaving the photo area in front of POTC - he remembered me and came back over for another (in-character) conversation! I was delighted as Jack is one of my very favourite characters. :)
I'm going to Disneyland Paris next year and cant wait to see Jack Sparrow, and would realy LOVE to meet him, so dose anyone know what I should look out for if I meet a 'What ever' Jack? Thanks!

I thought he was fine when I met him last week, but I did have a castmember with me.

I did notice a few villains being a bit difficult with guests though. I think it's all part of the interaction and it doesn't really worry me.
Wow - I didn't expect them to find someone anywhere near as 'Jack' like as Johnny Depp but form your photo he looks really good.
I'm looking forward to meeting him now whereas before I wasn't sure.
I love the "character Jack Sparrow". It is the best Character-Part from the actor Johnny Depp. What a beautiful Man :-)
Thew charcter in the parc hat not the same look (face) as the "real" Capitain Jack *lol* but I like him, too.
Sadly I have no seen him when we was there this june, only see him last year in september :-(

two years ago we saw Hook and my 4 yr old was scared to death of him, so he came over and knelt down with him and patted his head, then i took a photo and he signed the book for Lewis..i was really impressed that he had taken the time to do that after Lewis became so scared of the Hook 'act'.
We met him last month and he posed and signed loads of auutographs

Just suppose what actor is playing him, i thought the one we saw looked really like him and his mannerisms were spot on. It really made us laugh
When I met him last November he was nearly an hour late than the scheduled time so we were forced to wait around outside the POTC ride in the freezing cold. :cry:
I will give him some credit though because when he did finally turn up he made a point of having photo's and signing autographs with those of us who had been waiting rather than just whoever came up to him first.
I was more dissapointed with his make up and false beard...he looked great from a distance but as soon as you got close up you could see the gauze all over his chin holding the fake beard in place!! :shock:
aww i hope i can meet him next month
I would think so.
I'm not aware of any times of the year when he isn't around.
Though someone will probably inform me of some now!!
haha
