Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp was born on 9th June 1963 in Owensboro, Kentucky to John Christopher Depp. He is an Academy Award-nominated American actir.

He played with a band named "The Kids," who had modest local success. The band set out for Los Angeles, California, to try to get a record deal, changing their name to "Six Gun Method." During this period, Depp married Lori Anne Allison, the sister of the drummer of the band, on December 20, 1983.

Depp's first role was in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). Then he starred in the FOX's TV series 21 Jump Street. The show was a success and he instantly became a teen idol worshipped mainly for his looks, which Depp abhorred.

Eager to shake his image as a Hollywood pretty boy, Depp began taking roles in offbeat, unusual films, beginning with Cry-Baby (1990) and later, at age 27, making his big break as the monstrously disfigured protagonist of Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands, for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe. Soon afterward, Depp began landing featured parts in high-profile films alongside renowned actors, including What’s Eating Gilbert Grape with Leonardo DiCaprio, Don Juan DeMarco with Marlon Brando, and Donnie Brasco with Al Oacino.
