Johnny Depp is an acclaimed American Actor who has won both a Golden Globe and a Screen Actor’s Guild award. Depp chooses roles that are often off-beat and dark characters that draw one into his world of insight and intrigue.
John Christopher Depp, II was born in Kentucky on June 9, 1963, to a civil engineer father his waitress wife, Betty Sue. Depp’s family moved several times due to his father’s job before coming to rest in Miramar, Florida when Johnny was seven. Johnny Depp has revealed in interviews that the pre-teen and teenage years were difficult for him as he experimented with drugs, alcohol, and even self-harming to handle puberty and the growing tensions at home. His parents divorced when Johnny was 15, causing a rift between Depp and his father. Just a year later, he dropped out of high school in order to pursue music. He eventually met and married Lori Allison at the age of 20 and in 1983, they and his band, The Kids moved to Los Angeles to seek success. While somewhat successful, the band could not make ends meet and eventually broke up. A meeting with actor Nicholas Cage introduced Johnny to the idea of acting. At the beginning of his career, he even worked as a telemarketer selling pens to pay the bills.
Johnny Depp is most known for his creativity and unusually dark roles. From Sweeny Todd to Jack Sparrow to Edward Scissorhands, Depp has shown time and time again the depth and commitment to acting that has garnered him many award nominations, a Golden Globe, and a Screen Actor’s Guild Award. Depp got his acting start in 1984 with a small role in The Nightmare on Elm Street followed shortly by a role in Platoon. Even though his first marriage fell apart in 1985, Johnny’s acting career was taking off. In 1987, he landed a role in the television series 21 Jump Street. This role catapulted him to stardom and teen idol status. By most reports, Depp did not enjoy being a teen idol. After his three-year contract was up, Johnny Depp moved on to starring exclusively in movie roles. He teamed up with Tim Burton for Edward Scissorhands in 1990 and has gone on to collaborate with Burton several times over. He also starred in Cry Baby in 1990, which was not a huge success at the time but has gained a cult following and a love for Johnny Depp since.
Currently, Johnny Depp is living in the United States after several years of living in France with Paradis. Most recently, Depp has been in the news due to a controversy that resulted when Depp and his wife, Amber, took their two dogs into Australia without permission. The dogs were actually ordered out of the country and Depp is at risk of formal charges being filed.
