Johny Depp

John Christopher [Johnny] Depp II (born June 9, 1963) is an American actor & musician known for his portrayals of offbeat, eccentric characters such as Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, Raoul Duke in Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, & Sam in Benny & Joon.

Depp rose to prominence in a lead role on the television series 21 Jump Street & quickly became regarded as a teen idol. Uncomfortable with that characterization, he turned his focus to film roles that he felt were right. He initially came to film prominence as the titular character of Edward Scissorhands, & later found box office success in roles such as Ichabod Crane in Sleepy Hollow, Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series & his role as the quirky Willy Wonka in Charlie & the Chocolate Factory.

He has collaborated with director & close friend Tim Burton in seven films, the most recent of which include Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) & the upcoming Alice in Wonderland. Depp has garnered acclaim for his portrayals of real life figures such as Edward Wood, Jr., in Ed Wood, Joseph D. Pistone in Donnie Brasco & George Jung in Blow (2001). He plays John Dillinger in Michael Mann's Public Enemies.


Films featuring Depp have grossed over $2.3 billion at the United States box office & over $4.8 billion worldwide. Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor three times, Screen Actors Guild Awards four times & Golden Globe Awards eight times, Depp won the Best Actor Awards from the Golden Globes for his role in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street & from the Screen Actors Guild for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
