Writer and co-creator Stuart Beattie wrote the part of Jack Sparrow with Hugh Jackman in mind (Beattie and Jackman attended the same Australian high school). The character's first name was even a nod to the actor's name. However, Disney did not feel Jackman was a big enough star for the part, so the part was eventually offered to Johnny Depp. This was also considered to be a commercial risk because Depp, although a respected actor, was hardly a bankable star at the time. Fortunately, the gamble paid off when the movie became the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2003.
