- "Since I had never been in a film before The Curse of the Black Pearl, I was kind of scared and confused most of the time on set, but I figured that it would be all right because it was right for Murtogg. In fact, my first shot in my first film ever was a parrot repeatedly relieving himself on my face. The props guy who was doing it was an amazingly accurate shot, and got me in the eye every time. Well, they always say 'Hire the best.'"
