Cast: Keith Richards as Captain Teague

Keith Richards (Captain Teague) has come to be seen as the quintessential rock and roll guitarist. He has been called “the Human Riff,” and his playing, an uncanny combination of irreducible rawness and innate musicality, has made him one of the most influential musicians in rock history.
His candor, rigorous personal integrity, and uncompromising commitment to the music he loves have earned him the respect not only of the people who grew up with the Rolling Stones, but of succeeding generations of younger fans. He is an outlaw, but with an aristocratic bearing; a fearsome figure, but with unmistakable touches of sweetness and vulnerability; a feral rocker who can also break your heart with a lovely ballad.
That's why Johnny Depp cites Richards as an inspiration for his portrayal of Jack Sparrow, and which makes Richards the ideal choice to play Captain Teague, the Keeper of the Code, who has some passing acquaintance to Captain Jack, in “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.”
The Rolling Stones, of course, were among the handful of artists who redefined popular music when they emerged from London in the 1960s, and Richards is one of the seminal group's founding members.  In particular, he loved the American blues and R&B that have proven to be important elements of the Stones' music to this day.
He is the engine that drives the band's irresistibly rhythmic sound, and collaborating with singer Mick Jagger, he has written some of the most indelible songs of the rock era, including “(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction,” “Start Me Up,” “Brown Sugar” and “Jumping Jack Flash.”  In addition, Richards has made two solo albums, Talk Is Cheap and Main Offender, with his band, the X-Pensive (“as in formerly thinking,” he wryly explains) Winos.
Nor is Richards a stranger to the world of film.  He produced the music for the concert film “Chuck Berry: Hail! Hail! Rock `n' Roll” (1987), directed by Taylor Hackford, in honor of Berry's 60th birthday. “Gimme Shelter,” the Maysles Brothers documentary of the Stones' tumultuous American tour in 1969, is widely regarded as one of the best rock and roll films ever made. Martin Scorsese, Jean-Luc Godard and Hal Ashby are among the other directors the Stones have worked with in the course of their storied career.
