Bill Nighy as an assassin in Wild Target (2010)

Happy 75th Birthday to Bill Nighy!

This celebrated British actor is known for his debonair voice and iconic roles, such as the irreverent hip gyrating aged rocker, Billy Mack, in Love Actually, the fearsome cursed pirate, Captain Davy Jones, in Pirates of the Caribbean, and the doomed stepfather, Philip, in Shaun of the Dead.

In the British action comedy Wild Target, Nighy plays a retiring assassin who has a change of heart when assigned to take out a young thief. In the film, Nighy can be seen firing a Beretta 92FS and teaching his young hitman apprentice how to assemble the Beretta while blindfolded. Nighy also uses a Heckler & Koch MP5 as his preferred "sniper" weapon.

Bit of trivia: Nighy suffers from Dupuytren's contracture, which means he can't straighten the ring and little fingers on each hand. When holding the firearms, Nighy uses just a thumb and middle finger, with his index on the trigger.
