Johnny Depp Movies: Johnny Depp is an amazing actor and is known for his rolls playing wacky characters such as: Jack Sparrow, The Mad Hatter and Sweeney Todd. He chooses his roles in movies carefully, and instead of playing in movies that are certain to be box office hits he plays in films that he finds interesting to him personally. This is what makes him so great as an actor; he really gets into his characters and gives them such a personality that no one else could.
Depp has a close relationship with director Tim Burton and has starred in many of the director's films. When Depp was cast as Edward Scissorhands, he decided it was time to give up the teen idol image he had in his first few films and start becoming the actor he is today.
Johnny Depp movies are box office power houses, Johnny Depp is the only actor to star in two billion dollar movies: Alice in Wonderland and Pirates of the Caribbean.
