Johnny Depp is an Oscar-nominated musician and actor who is well-known for his unique and eclectic taste in movies. The following is a list of 5 times Johnny Depp made jaw-dropping on-screen appearances.
Black Mass (2015)
Based on the actual story of FBI informant and Irish Mob godfather James “Whitey” Bulger (Depp), who struck a “secret trade” arrangement with his brother William “Billy” Bulger (Benedict Cumberbatch), a state senator, and FBI agent John Connolly (Joel Edgerton). Their plans to take down the Boston mafia and the Italian mob went astray, and things became quite violent. Aside from Kevin Bacon, Jesse Plemons, Peter Sarsgaard, Dakota Johnson, and Corey Stoll, Black Mass also stars Kevin Bacon and Jesse Plemons. In general, reviews were favorable, and the $53 million budgeted production brought in $99 million. Depp’s leading character is both charming and menacing, adding another delicious role to his repertoire that completely changes his appearance.
Minamata (2020)
1971 in New York. W. Eugene Smith (Depp) has turned into a recluse after his illustrious days as one of the most renowned photojournalists of World War II, estranged from both society and his work. But a covert assignment from Life magazine editor Robert Hayes (Bill Nighy) brings him to the mercury-poisoned seaside city of Minamata in Japan. Smith really immerses himself in the local culture there.
Donnie Brasco (1997)
Donnie Brasco, which is based on a true story, follows FBI agent Joe Pistone (Depp) as he infiltrates the New York mob. Pistone is able to integrate himself into a mafia faction headed by Sonny Black by befriending Lefty Ruggiero (Al Pacino) under the guise of Donnie Brasco (Michael Madsen). As the group goes about collecting money, Ruggiero and Pistone get more intimate. Pistone continues to gather incriminating information covertly. However, Pistone can no longer handle the demanding undercover duties.
Edward Scissorhands (1990)
Here is yet another amazing story about a very different “Ed.” We meet an inventor’s greatest invention in Tim Burton’s jaw-dropping 1990 film Edward Scissorhands: Edward, a nearly perfect human being. But before he could complete Edward’s hands, the designer passed away, leaving just scissors. Since that time, he has lived alone—that is, until Winona Ryder, a lovely woman, finds him and invites him into her house. Everyone first accepts him into the community, but soon things start to turn for the worse.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
Captain Jack Sparrow, sometimes referred to as Jack Sparrow, is the next character. Who would have thought that producer Jerry Bruckheimer could take an exciting Disney World ride and turn it into an Oscar-nominated movie? Orlando Bloom and Orlando Bloom play a sneaky pirate and a smart blacksmith who are on a mission to locate the governor’s stolen daughter in this action-packed tale (Kiera Knightley).
