From live-action to animated projects, he already starred in drama, comedy, fantasy, action, adventure, mystery, horror, suspense, and musical offerings.

Johnny Depp has played as some of the most diverse characters. He’s a multifaceted man capable of appeasing a younger crowd as well as a more mature audience. His most notable collaborations with director, Tim Burton, bring theatre-goers a unique look into a multitude of different characters. Tim Burton’s movies are generally good for scaring the living piss out of your children or finding the allure in dark scenes and angled backdrops which are a welcomed change from the monotony of most films. The Burton/Depp collaborations of late are unforgettable works which will resonate through audiences for years to come. http://wasuspot.wordpress.com/2009/08/13/johnny-depp-most-diverse-actor/
