Johnny Depp is an Academy Award-nominated actor with a taste for the more eclectic roles, chosing to appear in films that he found personally interesting, rather than those he thought would succeed at the box office.
His film career began in 1984 working in a series of successful movies including A Nightmare on Elm Street, Private Resort, Slowburn, and Platoon before becoming a teen idol playing Officer Tom Hanson in the popular Fox television series, 21 Jump Street.
In the 1990's Depp began a long association with film director Tim Burton. This relationship proved to be a good match, casting Johnny in quirky roles in several of Burton's films including Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood (1994), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), and Corpse Bride (2005).
Depp's status as a major star was solidified with the success of the 2003 Walt Disney Pictures film, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, where he was highly praised for his lead performance as the wacky pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award.
In 2004, he was once again honored, receiving an Oscar nomination for his work in Finding Neverland.
