Johnny Depp. One of the world's best known actors. Famous for his versatility and dedication to the characters he plays.

Best known for his eccentric and unconventional film choices, Johnny Depp is perhaps one of the most versatile actors of his day and age in Hollywood, and has carved a legacy for himself as a serious, well-rounded performer.
