Back in 2017, Delroy shared the screen with Hollywood A-lister Johnny Depp in the Pirates Of The Caribbean movie Dead Men Tell No Tales.
The film was the fifth in the series about the adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow.
Delroy played Pike, a pirate and one of the crew members of the Dying Gull.
The character carried a cutlass and a flintlock and wasn’t afraid of getting stuck in.
