Johnny Depp Characters:

Funny or Weird?

1. Pirates of the Caribbean

Depp's acting technique in this series brings Jack Sparrow's chaotic energy to life. Depending on his wit rather than force. No matter how stranger the sequels get, the dark and childish humor in the movies always present a light-hearted flair.

Johnny Depp is known for playing weird and eccentric roles in his movies. With the unusual costumes and hilarious lines, his movies are constant classics.

2. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street 

Johnny Depp plays Sweeney Todd in a compelling performance about vengeance and cannibalism. Just to highlight the strangeness of this movie, a man who has everything taken from him, Sweeney Todd, becomes a singing murderer.  Despite the gruesomeness of it all Johnny Depp brought in aspects of English humor to level out the overall darkness.

3. Edward Scissorhands

The modern and gothic Frankenstein tale known as Edward Scissorhands was the first time that Johnny Depp and the well-known movie director, Tim Burton, collaborated. Depp plays the misunderstood artist with razor sharp -- and captivates his personality with depth and gentleness to the man whose only wish is to be loved.

 5. Ed Wood

​

 His role as the director Ed Wood celebrates his creative spirit however very misguided as he strives to make a name for himself by making some of the worst films ever created. The historical inaccuracies aside this quirky movie helped us see Depp's love of acting and him to create many more classics.

4. Alice in Wonderland

​

 His character as the Mad Hatter has so many levels and is very complex. Even though he is mostly just around for comedic relief he does add an interesting story line to the movie.
