Johnny Depp is one of the best-known character actors in cinema. While he’s never nabbed an Academy Award, he has been nominated three times and has received other honors, including a Golden Globe.
Depp is known for the characters he plays, immersing himself in the roles, with some of the most notable being Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Edward Scissorhands, and Willy Wonka. He’s had a long career in TV and film, and because of this, his resume is long.
Currently, Depp is involved in a defamation trial with his ex-wife Amber Heard, who accused him of abuse in 2016, before the two divorced. And after an op-ed Heard wrote was published–which did not name Depp but alluded to him–Depp claimed that hurt his career, which is part of this defamation suit. This also led to a decision for Depp to not return to Disney’s Pirates movies.
