Johnny Depp

John Christopher Depp II (born 1963) is an American actor, musician and filmmaker who became one of the best known screen performers of his generation. He started out playing in amateur rock bands before making his feature film debut in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), and he first reached a wide audience as a teen idol on the television series 21 Jump Street. His long collaboration with the director Tim Burton, which produced eight films beginning with Edward Scissorhands (1990), shaped his reputation for eccentric and gothic characters, and his role as Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean series made him a worldwide star. He has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor three times, won a Golden Globe Award, and received an Honorary Cesar. Outside acting he has produced films through his company Infinitum Nihil and formed the supergroup Hollywood Vampires.
