1950’s greaser bad boy who sheds a
single tear to drive the girls wild that
is before he falls in love and learns to
cry with both eyes this role came on the

stereotypical heartthrob she led 50
million Shane why cry baby why here’s
why
electricity killed my parents even
though he hates dancing in real life
Depp boogied his way onto our list now
if only that were his actual singing
voice
number nine George Jung hello in this
mesmerizing role Depp portrays real-life
cocaine smuggler Boston George
who is credited with establishing the
American cocaine market in the 1970s we
invented the marketplace in fact if you
snorted cocaine in the late 1970s or
early age it was an eighty five percent
chance it came from us Depp gives an
oddly sympathetic and captivating take
on the criminal while chronicling his
spectacular rise and downfall there’s no
shortage of greed danger and
introspection in depths portrayal which
proved to be a bright spot on an
otherwise questionably acted film what
number eight Benjamin Barker Sweeney
Todd the Demon Barber of Fleet Street
sporting one wild hairdo Dupree teams
with longtime collaborator Tim Burton

has everything he loves taken from him

throat slasher who takes no prisoners
there was his wife
and she was beautiful not only do we get
to hear Johnny’s dulcet tones in this
role we also see him blend comedy with
the McCobb classic dip number seven Sam
Benny and June this role helped put
Johnny Depp on the map wearing a top hat
and sporting a cane he gives an
unparalleled performance of physical
comedy that honors Charlie Chaplin and
Buster Keaton Depp plays the eccentric
cinema files Sam who wins people over
with his bizarre yet charming
personality he gets much of the credit
for this film surprise success and got
many Award nominations for his trouble
number six Gilbert Grape What’s Eating
Gilbert Grape
in one of his most gentle bitter sweet
and enchanting roles Depp plays a man
who must stay in a small town to take

multifaceted performance helps fuel this
touching melodrama when he could just as
easily have let Leo DiCaprio steal the

was a genius Johnny gives a restrained
performance in this mafia thriller as a

this modern gothic Frankenstein tale was
the first time Depp and Tim Burton
collaborated Depp plays the
misunderstood artist with razor-sharp

Sparrow Pirates of the Caribbean taking
