Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp, baptised John Christopher Depp II, (born June 9, 1963) is an American actor. He appeared in the long-running police drama 21 Jump Street, and in a number of movies where he distinguished himself as a quirky lead actor. He is able to play a wide variety of roles, from comedy (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Ed Wood) to serious drama (Donnie Brasco, Sleepy Hollow).

With his long-time companion, French singer Vanessa Paradis, he is the father of two children, Lily-Rose and Jack.

It is a well-known piece of trivia that he has a phobia of clowns: this made a scene in Edward Scissorhands where his character sleeps next to a stuffed clown very difficult.
