Sergio Calderón, best known for his work on “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End”, “Men In Black” and “The Ruins” and more has died. He was 77.
A rep for Calderón confirmed the sad news Wednesday, telling ET, that the actor was surrounded by family at the time.
“We can confirm that Sergio passed away this morning,” his rep shared. “He was in the hospital previously with a bout of pneumonia, not sure that was the cause. He was surrounded by family at the time.”
Calderón played Pirate lord, Captain Eduardo Villanueva of the Adriatic Sea, in 2007’s “At World’s End”, the third instalment of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise. He also lent his voice to the “At World’s End” video game, where he again starred as the Pirate lord.
The late actor shared several shots from his time on set via social media, including photos of himself alongside the franchise’s star, Johnny Depp, as well as rock star Keith Richards, who played the Pirate Lord of Madagascar and Depp’s father in the film.
