Since then, Johnny Depp has gone on to star in countless movies and turn in some truly amazing performances. As Glen Latz in A Nightmare on Elm Street, Icabod Crane in Sleepy Hollow, Mort Rainey in Secret Window, Sir James Matthew Barrie in Finding Neverland, and lots of other roles in between, Johnny Depp has brought a uniqueness all his own and turned in many memorable performances.
Two of my favorite Johnny Depp roles are his portrayals of Captain Jack Sparro

As Willy Wonka, Depp does an eerily fantastic job at portraying the role of the enigmatic chocolatier who has deeper problems than the world knows. Of course that's not to say that the movie isn't rather strange in places as evidenced by my daughter walking around saying "Everything in this room is eatable, even *I'm* eatable! But that is called "cannibalism," my dear children, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies.", a line spoken by Willy Wonka himself. Truth be told, he does have a point!
As for my other favori

If I had to choose between the two roles, I'd have to say that Captain Jack is most definitely my favorite as Depp's portrayal of Sparrow probably did more for the pirate revival than any other pirate movie ever! And who doesn't love a pirate? Rrrrrr!! Besides, like I said, he's darned sexy in the role!
This December, Depp hits the screens in another role that is sure to be uniquely his own in Tim Burton's production of Sweeney Todd. If you're interested in getting a sneak preview before the movie hits theaters on December 21st visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site or visit Sweeney Todd on MySpace. I'm sure that Depp is going to have another very memorable performance and I know Amanda is going to definitely want to go see the movie when it comes out as both Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are high on her list of favorites. I'll let you know what I think once we've seen it!
I kinda like Jack Sparrow as well...and that quote is worth stealing from you..
ReplyDeleteMost definitely Captain Jack Sparrow.... *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI am so looking forward to Sweeney Todd. Terribly impressed that he did his own singing since it is a difficult role.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Johnny Depp role? Edward Scissorhands.
I agree with Pirates of the Caribbean as favorite Johnny Depp role, but Benny and Joon would be a close second.
ReplyDeleteYour comments about Pirates... reminded me of a ride on a "pirate ship" I took with my youngest son when he was about 10 or 11 years old. One of the pirate characters jumped in front of him and growled "Arrrr...". Without missing a beat, my son growled back at him, "S..T..U..V" in his best pirate voice. Everyone around us cracked up, including me.
I am not sure how I even ended up here, ah ok I confess I was googling Depp lol.
ReplyDeleteLove his as Jack but I also love him in Finding Neverland, mainly because I was named after Wendy lol.
Have a great day.
great job on this!! I did the same one but chose willy wonka and edward scissorhands--by either one, he's a hottie!!
ReplyDeleteAhhh Depp, my sweet Depp. I love him so. Neverland, Pirates, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, those are my favs. And yes, I loved him in 21 Jump Street, too!
ReplyDeleteI was just coming to see if you'd taken a Sweeney Todd opp!
