They walked in the pirates shoes, they got to know their characters and knew why they did what they did. It is a gift for an actor to be able to really get to the root of the character and not judge it, but embrace it for all the flaws and faults that they may have. It is what separates the good actors from the mediocre ones.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">It was mentioned that this is one of the best ensemble casts you will ever see assembled in a TV show and looking at the roster, I tend to agree with Mark.
