An interesting "behind-the-scenes" interview with the nice Greg Ellis who talks about the role of nice Mr. Groves in a nice movie. :-P Nice Damian O'Hare is mentioned, that's how I found it. :-)
"Is Lieutenant Commander Groves taking over from Jack Davenport’s Norrington character in the previous films?" (You may guess the answer!)
Groves is a man who serves king and country first, he has some ethical scruples and a deep yearning for adventure on the ocean waves, but I think somewhere inside, he longs to experience life as a pirate. If there was a competition on board for a weekend as a pirate, Groves would be desperate to win. He has an admiration and respect for Jack Sparrow [Johnny Depp’s character]. I think that annoys his superiors. I know it annoyed Norrington in the first and the third.
Screencaps from that scene all look like Diesel ads...
