I first saw Johnny Depp in A Nightmare on Elm Street, and thought, he's cute. But when I watched him every week on the TV show 21 Jump Street, I was hooked. This dude can act. He's played so many diverse roles, which makes him versatile, but I think my favorite roles are those that let his quirky side shine through.
John Christopher Depp
II was born on June 9, 1963 in Kentucky.
. As a teenager, he played guitar in a band called The Kids and opened for Talking Heads, Iggy Pop, Pretenders, and Ramones.

of his biggest fears: clowns, ghosts, and spiders.
Johnny has a beautiful soul. He donated the money he earned for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus to Matilda, the daughter of his late co-star, Heath Ledger.
He also has a patch of water on his private island in the Bahamas that he named "Heath's Place" in honor of his friend.
