JOHNNY DEPP

John Christopher Depp born in Kentucky, on June 9 of 1963, he dropped out of school at age 15 with the hopes of becoming a rock musician. He fronted a series of garage bands including The Kids. Depp got into acting after a visit to Los Angeles, California, with his former wife, Lori Anne Allison, who introduced him to actor Nicolas Cage. He made his film debut in “A Nightmare on Elm Street” in 1984.

In 1990, his first of a handful of great collaborations with director Tim Burton came about when Depp played the title role in “El joven manos de tijera”. He continued to gain critical acclaim and increasing popularity by appearing in many features like Ed Wood, Donnie Brasco, Al Pacino , Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas among other.

Depp has played many characters in his career. He stole the show from screen greats such as Antonio Banderas in the finale "mariachi" trilogy, Once Upon a Time in Mexico in 2003. This film had been transmitting by national channels like RCN and Caracol. In that same year he starred in the marvelous family blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, playing a character that only the likes of Depp could pull off: the charming, conniving and roguish Captain Jack Sparrow. In 2004 he was in “The Secret Window”, my favorite movie played by him. Then Depp was collaborating again with Burton in a screen adaptation of Roald Dahl's novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

The most recognized last movies in which he takes part were: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man´s Chest (2006), Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007), Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007), Public Enemies (2009), The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009), Alice in Wonderland (2009) and the next year will throw the fourth movie of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
