You didn’t have a “None of the above” or a write-in option, so I didn’t vote. All of Johnny Depp’s characters are great, but my sentimental favorite is, and may possibly always be, Sam, from “Benny & Joon.”
My favorite Depp role was his LEAST personal favorite!I’m talking about the lead in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?Most eccentric?Ed Wood(And that was a real person!)
Besides eccentrics, which most people seem to focus on, he is exceptional at portraying real people:
-John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester
-Donnie Brasco (Joseph D. Pistone)
-Raoul Duke (Hunter S. Thompson)
-George Jung
-Ed Wood
-John Dillinger
-J. M. Barrie
I voted for Ed Wood, but my favorite character was J.M. Barrie from “Finding Neverland”.
Love me some Capt. Jack. But how could you leave off Cry Baby, first movie I ever saw with him when I was 6 and loved him ever since.
my fav’s are Agent Sands, a work of insane genius, and Rochester.. the best acting by Depp so far, and thats saying a lot!
All are amazing! All are my favorites!
Jack Sparrow is my favorite..thank you E for asking…
i love johnny so much. its absolutely criminal he didnt win an oscar for sweeney todd. i havent seen a movie of his that i didn’t absolutely love. captain jack is my fave hands down, but edward and sam are adorable. love you johnny! cant wait for pirates 4 <3
For me, it’s far and away his portrayal of J.M. Barrie in Finding Neverland
Roux in “Chocolat” and Hunter Thompson in “Fear & Loathing….” are my faves, but he is good in just about everything.
Where’s “What’s eating Gilbert Grape”?
1. Cry-Baby on Cry-Baby
2. Benny on Benny & Joon
3. Cptn Jack Sparrow on Pirates
How can I vote? You’ve left out my favorite Depp character, and one of the best eccentrics, Benny from Benny & Joon!
Johnny was Sam and yes that too was wonderful.
I love all Johnny’s characters but especially Captain Jack because that role is what got my attention Then I found out what a great actor and person that Mr. Depp is.
