A British actor who has had minor roles in Hollywood films has joined Kurdish fighters battling Islamic State in Syria.
Michael Enright played a deckhand in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest and appeared in a video released by the Kurdish People’s Protection Units, or YPG.
The footage was posted on YPG’s Facebook page on Tuesday, and it shows him in a trench with other fighters firing an assault rifle. Enright says, “Isis are dangerous to every human being alive.” He calls for weapons and medical aid for the Kurdish fighters, describing them as “my havals”, Kurdish for comrades.
