British actor who abandoned his Hollywood career to fight ISIS in Syria says British troops should be sent to ‘end this fight much quicker’

A British actor who says he has abandoned his Hollywood career to fight Islamic State in Syria has called for UK troops to be sent to the war-torn country.

Michael Enright, who appeared in Pirates Of The Caribbean alongside Johnny Depp, said the intervention of British armed forces would ‘end this fight much quicker’.

The 51-year-old, originally from Manchester, claims he has been fighting with the Kurdish People’s Protection Unit (YPG) for the last four months.

He said he was aware of about 40 Westerners fighting Isis in Syria – including around 10 Britons – but they were hugely outnumbered by the numbers travelling to join the extremist group.
