British Pirates Of The Caribbean Actor Fighting ISIS Is 'Mentally Unstable'

A British actor who has travelled to Syria to fight Islamic State is "mentally unstable," according to an ex-U.S. marine.

Michael Enright, who has appeared in films like "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest" and recently the Marvel TV series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D," joined western fighters and Kurdish YPG forces in Syria earlier this year.

But in a post on his Facebook page, former Marine Jordan Matson has warned that he is "unstable" and faces being either abandoned or murdered by his own side because of his "erratic and abusive" behaviour.

It’s claimed that he’s assaulted several people since his arrival and threatened to take his own life when asked to leave fighting units.

Matson has appealed to the State Department to send someone to remove him "before you have the first U.S. death in Syria."

In the remarkable statement, Matson said: “Michael Enright the mentally unstable actor who is in Rojava is in danger of being killed by one of the many westerners and kurds who want to bury him.

“He has been kicked out of 4 different fighting units and asked to leave twice by the ypg to which end he put the barrel of his rifle in his mouth and threatened to kill himself if he was sent home. (He is still working on his movie script.)

“He constantly lies and tries manipulating everyone around him both kurd and westerner. The generals have even told us they try keeping him away from everyone for fear that there (sic) own men will kill him.”

He added that they have taken the firing bolt out of his AK-47 rifle, so "he runs around taking pictures of himself in the rear saying he killed daesh with a weapon he can’t even fire."

Enright, 51 from Manchester and who has no military experience, left to join the Kurdish militia forces in March, where he received some basic training.

Speaking to the Mail On Sunday on arriving, he said: “It’s got to a point where I just want to absolutely annihilate them, and kill them on sight.

“IS are just an abomination. This is a call to humanity, it’s a call to everybody, to do whatever we can, in whatever way we can.”

He said that it was the footage of the murder of Jordanian pilot Muath Al-Kassasbeh, who was burned alive, which was the 'final straw’.

He has also added that he had wanted to join the 'war on terror’ in 2001, following the 9/11 attacks.

Enright has been an actor since the late 90s, featuring in small roles in films like 'Knight and Day’ with Tom Cruise, and TV shows like 'CSI’ and 'Law & Order’.
