[Johnny Depp] Made of Awesome Oscars 200

Johnny Depp Top 10 Performances #1

And now we have finally reached Number 1 in my countdown in my choices for Johnny Depp's best performances. It's quite long as I wanted to do this one justice, even though in the end I didn't talk about everything I could have.

It's also not posted here because LiveJournal was not cooperating with me... so with the help of my sister [info]slwmtiondaylite , I posted it online on our web server. It also includes a list of our favorite characters, which differ from this list. :-)

This was fun to write out, though I don't think I will do this again any time soon. :-) 




So, now here is the link to my choice of Johnny's best performance. (follow the fake cut)

Johnny Depp Top 10 Performances #3 - an addendum

I just found this video on youtube.  It's a composition of two videos.  The first one is Stephen Sondheim teaching a class on how to sing My Friends from 1984 and added in are clip of Johnny singing it as well.  It shows how Johnny actually does what Sondheim wanted.

Johnny Depp Top 10 - The Honorable Mentions

Continuing my list of Johnny's best performances:

#10. Agent Sands (Once Upon a Time in Mexico)
#9. Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow)
#8. Donnie Brasco/Joseph D. Pistone (Donnie Brasco)
#7. Gilbert Grape (What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?)
#6. Edward Scissorhands (Edward Scissorhands)

#5. Ed Wood (Ed Wood)
#4 Sir J.M. Barrie (Finding Neverland)



As I deliberate my Top 3 choices (because really, they could all be #1 for their own reasons), I’ve decided to add two performances that should have been on the list from the beginning. I have to admit that I forgot about them until I was looking at my DVD collection and then saw them. I feel bad about leaving them off…although I don’t know where I would place them in the Top 10 and who I’d knock off…. So I decided to do an honorable mention post as these two performances really deserve to be mentioned.

[Johnny Depp] Made of Awesome Oscars 200

Johnny Depp Top 10 Performances (#10 through #6)

So...why am I making this list?  Mostly boredom.... and because I can :-D


Johnny Depp is one of – if not the most – versatile actors working today and has been hailed as the greatest actor of his generation by the actor who is considered to be the best who ever lived – Marlon Brando. And Johnny’s versatility is apparent in the vast array of his characters. They range from a quiet, lonely misfit to a sea-faring swashbuckler to a revengeful murderer.
