Deep into Depp



 In the movie industry, good looks can go a long way. Even though some stars lack talent,

 they make it to the top based solely on their appearance. One man who can make hearts

 melt as well as enthrall audiences with his acting ability is Johnny Depp.



 Just a look into his perfectly sculpted face and it is apparent that there's more to this actor

 than meets the eye. For over two decades, the enigmatic star has graced the screen, charming

 millions of fans along the way. The rise to fame hasn't been an easy one for the heartthrob

 turned thespian, but it has been one well worth watching.



 At 42, the Kentucky-born actor, director, and musician is just now coming into his own.

 For years he was seen as the bad boy of Hollywood. Drinking, doing drugs, and trashing

 hotel rooms were his forte and his name was often splashed across the tabloids.

 His off-screen antics were infamous and within the film industry, his reputation negatively

 preceded him. Depp't films, though critically acclaimed, weren't always box office hits. He

 often chose roles that were off the beaten path and mentally challenging. Ranging from

 a Frankenstein-esque creation in Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands to a cross-dressing

 Cuban in Before Night Falls, Depp's characters have stretched him as a performer. Never

 one to shy away from controversy, he didn't portray characters that were always likable.

 His performances can be edgy and often make viewers feel uneasy.
