Casting the Homeless as Pirates?
This is going to sound cruel and mean, but it’s what popped into my head, sorry. The upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean film is casting for pirates that meet this physical description:
authentic-looking scavenger-types 18-60, all ethnicities, especially extreme character types: thin, tall, short, emaciated, odd features, huge nose, eyes, ears, lazy eye, grizzled and wrinkles faces, odd body types, missing limbs, teeth, etc.
Sounds like great job opportunities for some of the Hawaii homeless, right? Come on, admit it. You can picture it can’t you?

I used to have compassion for the homeless back when I was naïve (aka dumb,ignorant, gullible). Once I bought some OJ for a bum. He got mad at me for giving him OJ. I presume he wanted cash for drugs instead. Can you believe it?!
Now I say F@#* those piss-smelling, nappy-headed, shopping-cà rt stealing,drug-taking, park-living bums!.

But would they make good pirates on screen? That's the question at hand. 🙂
