He appeared as the central character in the Stephen King-based movie, Таємне вікно (2004) as the kind-hearted novelist James Barrie in the factually-based Чарівна країна (2004), where he co-starred with Kate Winslet and Rochester in the British film, The Libertine (2004). The film's enormous success has opened several doors for his career and included an Oscar nomination. In that same year he starred in the marvelous family blockbuster Пірати Карибського моря: Прокляття Чорної перлини (2003), playing a character that only the likes of Depp could pull off: the charming, conniving and roguish Capt. He stole the show from screen greats such as Antonio Banderas in the finale to Robert Rodriguez's "mariachi" trilogy, Якось у Мексиці (2003). Depp has played many characters in his career, including another fact-based one, Insp. The same year he teamed up again with Burton in Сонна лощина (1999), brilliantly portraying Ichabod Crane. He continued to gain critical acclaim and increasing popularity by appearing in many features before re-joining with Burton in the lead role of Ед Вуд (1994). Following the film's success, Depp carved a niche for himself as a serious, somewhat dark, idiosyncratic performer, consistently selecting roles that surprised critics and audiences alike. In 1990, after numerous roles in teen-oriented films, his first of a handful of great collaborations with director Tim Burton came about when Depp played the title role in Едвард Руки-ножиці (1990).
In 1987 he shot to stardom when he replaced Jeff Yagher in the role of undercover cop Tommy Hanson in the popular TV series 21 Jump Street (1987). A visit to Los Angeles, California, with his wife, however, happened to be a blessing in disguise, when he met up with actor Nicolas Cage, who advised him to turn to acting, which culminated in Depp's film debut in the low-budget horror film, Жах на вулиці В'язів (1984), where he played a teenager who falls prey to dream-stalking demon Freddy Krueger.
Depp, he took a job as a ballpoint-pen salesman to support himself and his wife. He dropped out of school when he was 15, and fronted a series of music-garage bands, including one named 'The Kids'.
John Christopher "Johnny" Depp II was born on Jin Owensboro, Kentucky, to Betty Sue Palmer (née Wells), a waitress, and John Christopher Depp, a civil engineer.
