but i dunno why i keep equating that movie to him 
Oh, I guess whenever I think of oddballs, Depp's character in
"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" just takes the cake. (I never did
fully understand Terry Gilliam's movies -- they seem so surreal.)
You'll probably like him as quirky Willy Wonka in the upcoming
"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", too.
Depp's movie debut was in "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and he was
killed off almost as soon as he appeared on screen, so I'd suppose
most movie fans would remember his early beginnings well. Same
thing for Kevin Bacon when I keep equating "Friday the 13th" to him
(though Bacon's debut was in the hilarious "Animal House" ).
