Johnyy Depp
Johnny Depp’s first movie appearance (which he initially rejected) was A Nightmare on Elm Street. 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. However, with a salary of $45,000 per episode, Depp stayed with the show. The show lasted for four seasons; some speculate that it was Johnny Depp’s exit that caused Fox to cancel the program. 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 Pacino…. @
