Early life

Childhood

Depp was born in Owensboro, Kentucky , the son of John Christopher Depp, Sr., a civil engineer , and his wife, the former Betty Sue Wells, a waitress . He has one brother, Daniel, who is a novelist, and two sisters, Christie (now his personal manager) and Debbie. The Depp family in the United States began with a French Huguenot immigrant, Pierre Deppe or Dieppe, who settled in Virginia around 1700, part of a refugee colony situated above the falls on the James River. The actor has also surmised that he is part Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native American , saying in 2011, "I guess I have some Native American somewhere down the line. My great-grandmother was quite a bit of Native American, she grew up Cherokee or maybe Muscogee (Creek)|Creek Indian . Makes sense in terms of coming from Kentucky, which is rife with Cherokee and Creek."More recently a hereditary connection between Depp and Queen Elizabeth II was discovered possibly making him her twentieth cousin. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/johnny-depp-could-be-queen-188553

The family moved frequently during Depp's childhood, and he and his siblings lived in more than 20 different locations, settling in Miramar, Florida|Miramar ,Stated on Inside the Actors Studio , 2002 Florida, in 1970. In 1978, Depp's parents divorced. His mother married, as her second husband, Robert Palmer (died 2000), whom Depp called "an inspiration to me".

He engaged in self-harm as a child, due to the stress of dealing with family problems. He has seven or eight self-inflicted scars. In a 1993 interview, he explained his self-injury by saying, "My body is a journal in a way. It's like what sailors used to do, where every tattoo meant something, a specific time in your life when you make a mark on yourself, whether you do it yourself with a knife or with a professional tattoo artist".

1980s

With the gift of a guitar from his mother when he was twelve, Depp began playing in various garage band s. His first band was in honor of his girlfriend, Meredith. A year after his parents' divorce, Depp dropped out of high school to become a rock musician. He attempted to go back to school two weeks later, but the principal told him to follow his dream of being a musician. He played with The Kids, a band that enjoyed modest local success. The Kids set out together for Los Angeles in pursuit of a record deal, changing their name to Six Gun Method, but the group split up before signing a record deal. Depp subsequently collaborated with the band Rock City Angels and co-wrote their song "Mary", which appeared on Rock City Angels' debut for Geffen Records titled ''Young Man's Blues .

On December 24, 1983, Depp married Lori Anne Allison, the sister of his band's bass player and singer. During Depp's marriage, his wife worked as a makeup artist, while he worked a variety of odd jobs, including a telemarketing|telemarketer for pens. His wife introduced him to actor Nicolas Cage , who advised Depp to pursue an acting career. Depp and his wife divorced in 1985. Depp later dated and was engaged to actress Sherilyn Fenn (whom he met on the set of the 1985 short film Dummies ). Both Fenn and Depp auditioned for the 1986 film '' Thrashin' '' and they were both cast, with Depp being chosen by the film's director to star as the lead, which would have been Depp's second major role. Depp was later turned down by the film's producer, who rejected the director's decision.

Acting career

Television

Depp starred in a lead role on the Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox television series, 21 Jump Street , which premiered in 1987. Depp accepted this role to work with actor Frederic Forrest , who inspired him. Depp's long time friend Sal Jenco joined the cast as a semi-co-star as the janitor named Blowfish. The series' success turned Depp into a popular teen idol during the late 1980s. He felt "forced into the role of product." Depp decided to appear only in films that he felt were right for him.

Film roles

Depp's first major role was in the 1984 classic horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street , playing the boyfriend of the heroine, Nancy Thompson (A Nightmare on Elm Street)|Nancy Thompson (played by Heather Langenkamp ) and one of Freddy Krueger 's victims. Depp was the first choice and was cast to star in the 1986 American skater drama film
'' Thrashin' '', chosen and cast by the director but ultimately rejected by the film's producer.
In 1986, he appeared in a secondary role as a Vietnamese language|Vietnamese -speaking private in Oliver Stone 's Platoon (film)|Platoon . In 1990, he undertook the quirky title role of the Tim Burton film, Edward Scissorhands . The film's success began his long association with Burton.

He returned to Thompson's work with a The Rum Diary (film)|film adaptation of the novel The Rum Diary (novel)|The Rum Diary , released in 2011.

Critics have described Depp's roles as characters who are "iconic loners." Depp has noted this period of his career was full of "studio defined failures" and films that were "box office poison," but he thought the studios never understood the films and did not do a good job of marketing. Depp has chosen roles which he found interesting, rather than those he thought would succeed at the box office.
The 2003 Walt Disney Pictures film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl was a major success, in which Depp's performance as the suave but shambling pirate Captain Jack Sparrow was highly praised.

According to a survey taken by Fandango (ticket service)|Fandango , Depp was a major draw for audiences.

The next sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean , '' Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End|At World's End , was released May 24, 2007. Depp has said that Sparrow is "definitely a big part of me", and he wants to play the role in further sequels. Depp voiced Sparrow in the video game, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow ''. Johnny Depp's swashbuckling sword talents as developed for the character of Jack Sparrow , were highlighted in the documentary film Reclaiming the Blade . Within the film, Swordmaster Bob Anderson (fencer)|Bob Anderson shared his experiences working with Depp on the choreography for The Curse of the Black Pearl . Anderson described in the film Depp's ability as an actor to pick up the sword to be "about as good as you can get."

Depp was going to star as Tonto in an upcoming The Lone Ranger (2013 film)|Lone Ranger film, but the project had been shelved due to budgetary concerns as well as a lack-lustre response to a recently-released Western-genre film ( Cowboys & Aliens (film)|Cowboys & Aliens ).

Collaboration with Tim Burton

Depp has collaborated with director and close friend Tim Burton in seven films, beginning with Edward Scissorhands (1990), opposite Winona Ryder and Vincent Price . His next role with Burton was in the 1994 film, Ed Wood (film)|Ed Wood . Depp later said that "within 10 minutes of hearing about the project, I was committed." At the time, the actor was depressed about films and filmmaking. This part gave him a "chance to stretch out and have some fun"; he said working with Landau "rejuvenated my love for acting".

Producer Scott Rudin once said, "Basically Johnny Depp is playing Tim Burton in all his movies," although Burton personally disapproved of the comment. Depp, however agrees with Rudin's statement. According to Depp, Edward Scissorhands represented Burton's inability to communicate as a teenager. Ed Wood (film)|Ed Wood reflected Burton's relationship with Vincent Price (very similar with Edward D. Wood, Jr. and Béla Lugosi ).

Depp's next venture with Burton was the role of Ichabod Crane in Sleepy Hollow (film)|Sleepy Hollow (1999), opposite Christina Ricci . Sleepy Hollow reflected Burton's battle with the Hollywood studio system. For his performance, Depp took inspiration from Angela Lansbury , Roddy McDowall and Basil Rathbone . Depp stated, "I always thought of Ichabod as a very delicate, fragile person who was maybe a little too in touch with his feminine side, like a frightened little girl."

Depp did not work with Burton again until 2005 in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (film)|Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , in which he played Willy Wonka . Depp modeled the character's hair on Anna Wintour . The film was a box office success and received positive critical reception. Gene Wilder , who played Willy Wonka in the Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory|1971 film , initially criticized this version. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was released in July, followed by Corpse Bride , for which Depp voiced the character Victor Van Dort, in September.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007 film)|Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) followed, bringing Depp his second major award win, the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor& nbsp;– Motion Picture Musical or Comedy as well as his third nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor . Burton first gave him an original cast recording of the Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (musical)|1979 stage musical in 2000. Although not a fan of the musical genre, Depp grew to like the tale's treatment. He cited Peter Lorre in Mad Love (1935 film)|Mad Love (1935) as his main influence for the role, and practiced the songs his character would perform while filming '' Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End . Although he had performed in musical groups, Depp was initially unsure that he would be able to sustain Stephen Sondheim 's lyrics. Depp recorded demo (music)|demos and worked with Bruce Witkin to shape his vocals without a qualified voice coach. In the DVD Reviews section, Entertainment Weekly 's Chris Nashawaty gave the film an A minus, stating, "Depp's soaring voice makes you wonder what other tricks he's been hiding... Watching Depp's barber wield his razors... it's hard not to be reminded of Edward Scissorhands frantically shaping hedges into animal topiaries 18 years ago... and all of the twisted beauty we would've missed out on had never met."
In his introduction to Burton on Burton , a book of interviews with the director, Depp called Burton "...a brother, a friend,...and brave soul". The next Depp-Burton collaboration was Alice in Wonderland (2010 film)|Alice in Wonderland (2010). Depp played the Mad Hatter alongside Helena Bonham Carter , Anne Hathaway (actress)|Anne Hathaway and Alan Rickman .

Comments on U.S.

In 2003, Depp's comments about the United States appeared in Germany's Stern (magazine)| Stern magazine : "America is dumb, is something like a dumb puppy that has big teeth& nbsp;— that can bite and hurt you, aggressive."
