Calendarlive.com – As Davy Jones, Bill Nighy plays a villain with real depth – By Martin Miller, Times Staff Writer. **CONTAINS SPOILERS**
British actor Bill Nighy is determined to make moviegoers hearts jump into their throats in the second installment of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” trilogy.
Nighy’s task, apart from frightening filmgoers, is to drive the story by serving as a sinister counterweight to Johnny Depp’s scene-stealing and heroic Capt. Jack Sparrow. Essentially, Jones is chasing after Sparrow for his soul.
“This role is like nothing else I’ve done before,” says Nighy, who worked closely with computer-imaging artists in creating the character. “One leg is a crab leg, one arm is a crab claw, and I’ve got squids leaping out of my face. It’s all pretty scary stuff.”
