I just replayed the video of the 1997 film Titanic and I noticed that
the actor who played Captain Smith is Bernard Hill.

However, Bernard Hill is also the name of a vetern chess master.

The age is about the same. Does anybody know if this is the same
person?

Sam Sloan

He can't be the same person. The Bernie Hill I knew, the veteran
chessplayer, was a friend of Abe Turner's, played at times at the Manhattan
CC, and certainly wasn't born in 1944, the year the actor was.
