Here is a page with some good biography information on Johnny Depp.
And here is a neat thing from The Internet Movie Database today about Depp. It's about time he got the praise. He is one of the best actors out there today and I really respect him for choosing to stick with quirky roles instead of selling out for big bucks.
Depp "Moved" by Accolades
Oscar nominee Johnny Depp has been deeply moved by the numerous accolades he has received for his performance in Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl. The movie hunk has been propelled back into the spotlight thanks to his portrayal of roguish pirate Captain Jack Sparrow in the swashbuckling adventure. And Johnny - was lives with partner Vanessa Paradis and their two children in France - admits he never expected such attention for the role. He says, "I'm very thankful. I'm very grateful for this past year, and certainly the things that have happened, I had no expectations at all. Certainly not nominations of any sort. So I'm very touched, very moved."
