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?

Bernard Hill the chessplayer appears to be an employee for a company
called Braeburn software in Scotland, making it rather unlikely he
also is an actor as well. Plus his picture looks different.

Here's another picture of Bernard Hill the actor -
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0384060/ - In his biography imdb mentions
that he a skilled horse back rider and has a purple belt in Karate,
nothing about chess.
