Johnny Depp is known as one of the greatest actors of all time.
As a teen idol in the 80s, he was unhappy so he chose movie parts
that were more challenging
Johnny Depp is interested in the process that it takes to make a
great performance instead of what the final product is which is
why he doesn't watch any of his movies
He becomes the character he is playing and he puts everything
into every single one of his performances. Johnny Depp takes a
character from paper and turns it into a memorable and magical
on screen.
Tim Burton, his friend and also director, has said that Johnny
Depp becomes the character by being the character off screen as
well...Edward Scissorhands never spoke so Johnny Depp never
spoke; Ed Wood didn't stop talking so neither did Johnny Depp
when the cameras stopped; and Sweeny Tood is a musical so
Johnny Depp went round singing.
Johnny Depp always tried to play a different character in the
movies is chooses to challenge himself as a person and to better
himself as a actor.
