How He Got Into It...
Johnny got into acting from his ex-wife who introduced him to Nicolas Cage. Cage convinced Johnny to try out acting.His first movie was 1984's "Nightmare on Elm Street" His immediate claim to fame was when he started the TV show "21 Jump Street" as the star undercover cop, Tommy Hanson. Johnny disliked the job so much, he tried to get out of the contract by showing up on set with rubber bands on his tongue. Getting his wish, the show was cancelled after 2 seasons (?)

Awards
There's talk of Depp's Oscar-Worthy performance in Finding Neverland... for BEST ACTOR, once again. I say it's about time! they recognize his talent. He deserves more respect in Hollywood, since he's among the few actors who actually ACT like ACTORS
Depp was #4 in the Sexiest Men Alive.. Jude Law took his title... it doesn't necessarily mean it's true - but there is a very drool-worthy picture in November/December's issue of people.
Depp was currently named "Sexiest Man Alive" 2003 and scored #5 on the list of hotties on MTV. He has also won a Screen Actor's Guild Award for Best Actor as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. Also was nominated for Best Actor for the Oscars of 2003, and named #24 for Most Starlicious Makeovers on Entertainment. I'm glad the world has finally recognized the most talented actor of this genre. He has just won an award for being #5 on E's Rank "Hottest Men of 2003" I disagree 
Oscar Nominee for 2004's "Finding Neverland"
