JOHNNY

DEPP

John Christopher Depp II (born June 9, 1963) is an American actor, singer, producer,
and musician. The son of a technician and a waitress, he spent his early years in
Vancouver (Canada), where, driven by his love of music, he joined the rock world and
took his first steps as a guitarist in second-rate musical ensembles. That vocation
contributed to put him in contact with the cinema: his appearance did not go unnoticed
by the hunters of cinematographic faces. He has been nominated for ten Golden Globe
Awards, winning one for Best Actor for his performance of the title role in Sweeney
Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2008), and has been nominated for three
Academy Awards for Best Actor, among other accolades. Depp made his film debut
in the 1984 film A Nightmare on Elm Street, before rising to prominence as a teen idol
on the television series 21 Jump Street (1987–1990). He had a supporting role in
Oliver Stone's 1986 war film Platoon and played the title character in the 1990 romantic
fantasy Edward Scissorhands.

Depp has gained critical praise for his portrayals of inept screenwriter-director Ed
Wood in the film of the same name (1994), undercover FBI agent Joseph D. Pistone
in Donnie Brasco (1997), author J. M. Barrie in Finding Neverland (2004) and Boston
gangster Whitey Bulger in Black Mass (2015). He has starred in a number of
successful films, including Cry-Baby (1990), Dead Man (1995), Sleepy Hollow (1999),
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), Corpse Bride (2005), Public Enemies
(2009), Alice in Wonderland (2010) and its 2016 sequel, The Tourist (2010), Rango
(2011), Dark Shadows (2012), The Lone Ranger (2013), and Fantastic Beasts: The
Crimes of Grindelwald (2018). Depp also plays Jack Sparrow in the swashbuckler film
series Pirates of the Caribbean (2003–present).
