Fan Casting Pirates of the Caribbean Prequel Film

Bootstrap Bill had once been a member of Jack Sparrow's crew aboard the Black Pearl, where he would regretfully play a part in Hector Barbossa's mutiny against Jack. While Jack was thrown overboard, Bootstrap Bill stayed on board with Barbossa's crew and joined them in finding and taking every bit of the treasure of Cortés. After falling under the Aztec curse, Barbossa's crew had to return the treasure they took. However, Turner tried to renege his position on Sparrow by sending a gold piece to his son Will, believing that the mutinous crew deserved to remain cursed for betraying Jack and the Pirate's Code. In response, Bootstrap was tied to a cannon and thrown overboard by Barbossa, eternally drowning but unable to die because of the curse. He was left to suffer at the bottom of the ocean.
