A British actor who has had minor roles in Hollywood films has joined Kurdish fighters battling the Islamic State group in Syria.

Michael Enright, who played a deckhand in “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” appears in a video released by the Kurdish People’s Protection Units, known as the YPG. The video shows him in a trench with other fighters firing an assault rifle.

In the video, posted on the YPG’s Facebook page, Enright says “ISIS are dangerous to every human being alive,” referring to the IS group.

He calls for weapons and medical aid for the Kurdish fighters, describing them as “my havals,” the Kurdish word for comrades.

Enright also played minor roles in “Knight and Day” and “Old Dogs,” according to the IMDb online entertainment database.

"ISIS are" is Brit-speak. (Like "in hospital").

We'd say "ISIS is"—that is, if you knew what the meaning of what ISIS IS. ;)
