how many jack sparrows are there

[bassman]

hey guys,
i was just wondering for the Jack Sparrow show in MK, how many "jacks" are there,on my recent trip i saw the show twice and each time it was a different guy.
btw the first show i saw the guy had jack spot on,the looks,the voice, the actions, everything.i was very impressed.
i have a few decent pics of him but im not sure how to put them on here.copy and paste doesn't work.

I bet you saw the same guy that we had, he was incredible, damn near perfect. From what i've read on here, not all the Jacks look or sound quite as accurate...

edit: here he is:

From what I hear there are 2 Captain Jacks on staff but there has been a large amount of turnover for the position. Supposedly the turnover is due to the demands put on the actors voice due to the show not being miked. I could be mistaken but nearly every time I have seen pictures or video of Captain Jack it has been a different actor which would bring the count up to at least 4.

What do you mean there's more than one... obviously like Mickey, there is only one. :lookaroun

Really though, I've seen many different pictures, so turnover seems likely, otherwise these guys really aren't getting many hours...

Here is a picture of the one I saw. He was one of the first as this picture was taken way back on July 1st.

As of my last day out there a few weeks ago, a PotC insider said there were three. But they've been going through them pretty frequently.

I've seen two. One in August was bad. Oh boy, didn't look like him at all. (See picture here.) But when I was back in September, things had greatly improved. The one I saw looked really spot-on.

Blasphemy! SHENANNIGANS! And you call yourselves Disney fans? There's only 1 Captain Jack Sparrow.

There is only 1 Jack Sparrow... with many people portraying the role

Johnny Depp is the most famous person to perform the role... on screen.

In WDW, I personally know of at least 4 actors who portray the role (since I know them personally). This is a very high turnover equity role (that's a rarity in WDW), so I'm certain there are at least 8, if not more.

I thought this guy looked a lot like him in this picture that I took earlier this month when I was there...

It is miked now... saw it just a week ago... all actors had wireless mikes.

speaking to a few jacks myself it's more then just the mic issue. It is also the drooling women that interupt their performances. It really makes them feel dirty and makes their job a lot harder.

As professional actors, they should know how to play it off. If the Adventurers Club cast can deal with drunks, then the Jacks can deal with excited women.

strange that you mention that because they are starting to pull some regular adveturer club folks over to this show.

Really? Wow... I guess Disney is getting some common sense. Find the actors in WDW that get heckled the most, find a few that fit the role, and offer em a gig

thats the same guy that i saw first time,he was perfect even down to the shape and overall look of his face,he looks like johnny depp himself.

This "Jack" looks more like Oliver Platt than Johnny Depp:lol:

This show is supposed to be around for a bit right? Cause I'm going in Nov and would love to see it for myself.
