Depp rose to prominence on the 1980s television series 21 Jump Street, quickly becoming a teen idol. Turning to film, he was notable as the title character of Edward Scissorhands (1990), and later found box office success in films such as Sleepy Hollow (1999), Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005).

He has collaborated with director and close friend Tim Burton in seven films, the most recent of which are Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) and Alice in Wonderland (2010). Depp has gained acclaim for his portrayals of people such as Edward D. Wood, Jr., in Ed Wood, Joseph D. Pistone in Donnie Brasco, Hunter S. Thompson in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and George Jung in Blow. More recently, he portrayed the bank robber John Dillinger in Michael Mann's 2009 film Public Enemies.

Films featuring Depp have grossed over $2.6 billion at the United States box office and over $6 billion worldwide. He has been nominated for top awards numerous times; he won the Best Actor Awards from the Golden Globes for his role in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and from the Screen Actors Guild for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

Johnny Depp is a very respected and well-paid Hollywood actor, has also been considered one of the sexiest actors of 2010

In particular I admire him because he is a super talented and very versatile actor. The way he perform the characters is brilliant. Also I  like Johnny Depp because of  his manly attitude, comic and physical appearance

Of all his movies, I like best is  the saga of Pirates of the Caribbean, and his role as Captain Jack Sparrow, giving life to a treacherous character, who survives by using his wit and negotiating instead of using weapons and force; fight if necessary but prefer to flee most dangerous situations. This character gives Johnny a bit of comedy when he was walking as if he was drunk, talking about a very rare, extravagant and a grinning hand shakes that make it seem mannered.

But I also enjoyed his performance as Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. As the Mad Hatter in Alice and Wonderland and its latest production, which gives life to rank a chameleon who has always lived under the care of a family as a pet until you find your identity, reaching a town called Dirt in the middle of the desert, where he becomes the new Sheriff, pretending being the hero who once dreamed of being.
