Johnny

Johnny Depp has played a great deal of great roles in his career. There are a number of unforgettable characters, everything from Edward Scissorhands, to the unforgettable Captain Jack Sparrow. He has played in a great deal of amazing movies in between, including Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Secret Window, and so many more. Of course when it comes to my favorites it is hands down his role as Jack Sparrow. It was like he was born to play the role of pirate, complete with makeup, teeth, and even a braided beard. But it was truly the heart that he brought to Jack that made Jack such a great character and such a wonderful person to watch. It was the depth he became Jack. With three Pirates movies under his belt, there are Johnny Depp fans, myself included who will wait on edge, hoping for more.

Even with a spectacular job with Pirates of the Caribbean and his role as Captain Jack Sparrow, there are other Depp movies worth mentioning. He has played some fantastic roles. My second favorite is his role as Sir James Matthew Barrie in Finding Neverland. It was here that he played a solemn distant type man, who connected with children and opened up in his search for Neverland. Even now I think about all the other Depp movies I have enjoyed and the characters he has brought to life for us. Edward Scissorhands follows Finding Neverland very closely as one of my favorites.

Of course this Christmas we get to see Johnny Depp in another of Tim Burton's movies. Tim Burton brings creepy and wonderful into an interesting and fantastic blend. Add Depp (as was done with A Corpse Bride) and you have a movie that can't be forgotten. This time Depp will be playing Sweeney Todd-The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site for more information, movie trailers, and updates! Of course, it gets better then that, because you can visit Sweeney Todd on MySpace.
