If I could describe Johnny Depp as an actor in a handful of words I would say he is charismatic, versatile, clever, and interesting. He dives right into his roles so much so that he makes you forget that the famous actor Johnny Depp is playing the part. For example Tonto – Lone Ranger, Edward Scissorhands, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Mortdecai, and Dark Shadows to name a few.
I love watching and re-watching older movies and shows that Depp has been in, such as 21 Jump Street and Edward Scissorhands. I’m falling in love with his more current movies as well: The Lone Ranger, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Public Enemies. I have had a ManCrush on Johnny Depp since I first saw him in 21 Jump Street.
