Well, I think that it Johnny Depp's case, it might be because his characters are often so unique. Some are odd, some quirky, some downright bizarre. In only a couple of films has he played a 'normal' person...and in those films, every OTHER character in the film was abnormal, so he even stood out THEN.JohnM wrote:While I agree that Depp is an excellent actor, I also have issue with the fact that sometimes his characterizations are without regard for their place in the film as a whole. Meryl Streep has done this, as well. Perhaps it's just me; but I sometimes find myself wondering what their characters are supposed to be, within the context of the film I'm watching. They stand apart from the film, and I find that somewhat annoying. Not always, just sometimes. Regardless, he's excellent at what he does.
