Johnny Depp

Edit this Page

A former teen idol thanks to his role on 21 Jump Street, Johnny Depp began his acting career with 1984's A Nightmare on Elm Street. His breakout role in Edward Scissorhands led to a working relationship with director Tim Burton that lasts to this day and an image boost out of his teen idol phase and into more serious performances.
