 Depp has a work ethic that every actor must envy immensely. Ever since he got his start on the FOX television show, 21 Jump Street, he’s never compromised his integrity. He’s accomplished the unthinkable, finding fame and fortune on his own terms, not by selling out. Granted, his time on 21 Jump Street satisfied commercial needs more than artistic desires but Depp regards the experience as a powerful learning tool. “It was like college. That was my college. Great training, five days a week, nine months out of a year in front of a camera. Learning, learning, learning. It was great schooling.

His resilience and integrity have given hope to countless actors across the globe. Despite his humble view of his celebrity, it seems like he will remain a hot commodity for the rest of his career. He even addresses the rumors about his potential sixth collaboration with Director Tim Burton, the film adaptation of Sweeny Todd. “That’s something that Tim and I had talked about the idea [of] years and years ago. We’ve been speaking about it here recently and it’s looking very good. Once Tim and I get together talking about stuff, that sets off a whole domino effect of other people having to do stuff that Tim and I don’t know how to do. It’s looking very good, I sure hope it happens.” With his demand showing no signs of waning, he may not have to hope too much about ... |
