The man most responsible for Johnny Depp’s wacky career trajectory is Tim Burton. When Depp was still a teenage heartthrob, Burton saw something unique inside of him. Despite 20th Century Fox's recommendation of Tom Cruise for the title role, Burton convinced the studio to hire the relatively untested Depp for Edward Scissorhands. This wasn't simpl...
As the adage goes, we all have one good story in us. If Johnny Depp had just one story, it would likely be Jack Sparrow’s. No one created the stumbling, drunken pirate more than Depp himself, whose performance was inspired by death-defying Rolling Stone guitarist Keith Richards. Out of the caverns of his own imagination, Depp saw parallels between ...
Hunter S. Thompson embodied gonzo journalism. The man dedicated his life to the party, to the observation of human existence through an inebriated lens. Thompson likely spent more of his life under the influence of some ungodly substance than he did in a state of sobriety, so when he personally tapped Johnny Depp to play the role of Raoul Duke in F...
Gene Wilder gave us a memorable take on Roald Dahl’s famous candy-man, but under the tutelage of Tim Burton, Johnny Depp created an entirely different beast. With the pallor of Michael Jackson and the neuroses of a stoned caveman recently freed from cryosleep, Depp’s Willy Wonka finds the beating heart of a misanthrope and stores it deep behind the...
Back, once again, with Tim Burton, Johnny Depp is tasked with turning literally mad character into more than a caricature. That’s his specialty. As Lewis Carroll’s Mad Hatter (gracefully named Tarrant Hightopp in the film), Depp constructed the character as a human mood ring, whose skin would shift and shine according to his emotional state. With C...
Some acting coaches will tell their students: “Know your ‘type’ and understand how people see you. Then break away from it.” As a teenage heartthrob and sex symbol, Johnny Depp needed an evasive maneuver to avoid being type-cast for the rest of his career. Cry-Baby was the answer. Replete with the Dany Zuko biker jacket, slick-backed hair and lady-...
As life imitates art, Johnny Depp found an outlet to do the reverse, by portraying the life and times of cult director Ed Wood. Tim Burton stuck with his go-to man for the part, offering Depp the opportunity to channel his real-life Hollywood malaise into a project about a man who so desperately wanted to crack into the industry. With its black and...
Jeremiah Chechik’s sweet, independent comedy is a romance of the old order, and Johnny Depp’s performance completely sells it. With the amount of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton-esque physical comedy in the movie, Benny and Joon could almost be considered a silent film. Depp excels with his prop handling and physical humor, breezily executing a v...
Director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean) got Johnny Depp back in the saddle for The Lone Ranger, playing the sidekick role of Tonto. While the film failed to take flight, the box office results had little to do with the fact that Depp had a dead bird on his head. His eccentricity is particularly dead pan in The Lone Ranger, as Depp uses h...
“You will not like me.” So begins The Libertine, with that line of dialogue coming straight from the mouth of one of the most eminently likable actors in cinema. When Johnny Depp breaks the fourth wall to tell the audience he doesn't care what they think, you know you’re in for a treat. As John Wilmot, the Second Earl of Rochester, Depp plays a sex...
