Johnny Depp – 21 Jump Street
Before donning the iconic hat of Jack Sparrow in “Pirates of the Caribbean,” Johnny Depp had already captured the limelight as a heartthrob in the ’80s with the series “21 Jump Street.” Depp’s penchant for offbeat roles became evident early in his career. Post “21 Jump Street,” he meticulously chose roles that were anything but ordinary, setting him apart from his contemporaries. This deliberate choice has cemented his status as one of the industry’s most versatile actors. In keeping with his reputation for distinctive roles, he delivered a compelling portrayal of Eugene Smith in the 2020 film “Minamata.”
