Well i really like Johnny Depp as an actor:) he is really good but i think the best performance from him is Edward Scissorhands:) and nothing can bit that:)

Here's a brief history of Johnny Depp:

Depp was born in Owensboro, Kentucky, to John Christopher Depp Sr., a city engineer, and Betty Sue Wells, a waitress.[3] He has one brother, Danny, and two sisters, Christie (who was formerly Johnny's personal manager) and Debbie. Depp has German, Cherokee (from a great-grandmother), and Irish ancestry.[4] The book Johnny Depp: A Kind of Illusion (ISBN 1-905287-04-6) states that the Depp family originated with a French Huguenot Pierre Deppe or Dieppe who settled in Virginia around 1700. Depp has said he doesn't know the origin of his surname, but jokes that the name translates to "idiot" in German (it is actually a minor insult meaning fool or moron).[5][6] The family moved frequently during Depp's childhood, and he and his siblings lived in more than twenty different locations, settling in Miramar, Florida, in 1970, when he was 7. In 1978, when Johnny was 15, his parents were divorced. Depp engaged in self-harm as a child, due to the stress of dealing with family problems and his own insecurity. He has seven or eight scars from practicing self-harm. In a 1993 interview, he explained his self-injury by saying, "My body is a journal in a way. It's like what sailors used to do, where every tattoo meant something, a specific time in your life when you make a mark on yourself, whether you do it yourself with a knife or with a professional tattoo artist".[7] Depp married Lori Anne Allison, his makeup artist and sister of his band's drummer, on December 24, 1983. During Depp's marriage his wife worked as a makeup artist while he worked a variety of odd jobs, including a telemarketer for ink pens. Later, his wife introduced him to actor Nicolas Cage, who advised Depp to pursue an acting career. In 1985, Depp and Allison divorced.

Rock band

Depp's mother bought him a guitar when he was twelve, and he began playing in garage bands. His first band was in honor of his girlfriend Meredith. One year after his parents divorced, he dropped out of high school to become a rock musician. (As he explained once on Inside the Actors Studio, he attempted to go back two weeks later, but the principal told him to follow his dream of being a musician, which Depp said was "really sweet.") He played with a band named "The Kids" which enjoyed modest local success. The band members set out together for Los Angeles in pursuit of a record deal, changing their name to "Six Gun Method." Depp's marriage caused friction between the band members, and the group split before signing a record deal. Depp subsequently collaborated with the band Rock City Angels[8] and co-wrote the song "Mary", which appeared on their debut for Geffen Records, "Young Man's Blues".

Television

Depp starred in a lead role on the FOX TV television series, 21 Jump Street, which premiered in 1987. Depp accepted this role because he wasn't getting much action in the business and he wanted to work with actor Frederic Forrest, who inspired him. Later in the season, Depp's long time friend Sal Jenco joined the cast as a semi-co-star as the janitor named Blowfish. The series' success turned Depp into a popular teen idol during the late 1980s. He found the teen-idol status an irritant, noting that he felt "forced into the role of product" and that it was "a very uncomfortable situation and I didn't get a handle on it and it wasn't on my terms at all." Depp promised himself that after his contract on the series expired, he would only appear in films that he felt were right for him.

Johnny Depp has always been a good actor.

I think he is amazing in each movie he is in.
He's so good at playing the part.
I can't get enough of his acting, and I love all his movies.

Oh I love Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. His true weirdness comes out. I've always been attracted to him as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean....he's sexy as anything....!

Yeah, he was totally freaky in this movie. Every time I watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory I crack up. My favorite line of his is, "Everything in this room is eatable. In fact even I am eatable, but that is called cannibalism, my dear children, and is frowned upon in most civilizations." Epic quote, seriously. I also think Freddie Highmore aka Charlie is adorable in this movie.

i my elf also enjoyed his role in this movie and all of his others also. i think this year there is one coming out where he is the mad hatter from alice in wonderland. and yes you guessed it, it is with director burton. i can not wait to see this movie. think i have seen almost all of Johnny Depp movies and could he be any cuter or sexier.

I'm sorry but I'm going to go way back about Mr. Depp. I fell in love with him long before most. I fell in love with this wonderful actor when he made his debut appearance in the long forgotten awsome series of 21 Jumpstreet. I loved him then and love him now. And to me that was his best. Because if he wasn't good then we probably wouldn't have the opportunity to fall in love with him now.
