Johnny Depp Journey In Hollywood | Full Live Interview | Icons Episode 06

Johnny Depp
The slurring, lecherous Captain Jack Sparrow hasn't been the only oddball brought to life by Hollywood heart throb
Johnny Depp. He's made a career of playing strange characters, including Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Raul
Duke (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) and Donnie Brasco. All of which brought him critical acclaim, but little
commercial success. Due to an early decision in his career to only play roles that pleased him, he turned down
parts in blockbusters such as Titanic, The Matrix and Speed. Luckily for Depp, 2003's Pirates of the Caribbean
turned out to be a box office bonanza, generating 653 million dollars worth of treasure and earning him his first
Academy Award nomination for the character he based on Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards.
