Johnny Depp:
Entertainer
of the Decade
Description:
When the decade began, Johnny Depp wasn’t the Johnny Depp of today. Sure, the critics had anointed him one of the finest actors of his generation. But Depp still hadn’t found his footing at the box office. Back then, he was an artistic martyr — Hollywood’s very own Saint Jude, patron saint of cinematic lost causes. For every middling hit on his oddball résumé like Sleepy Hollow or Chocolat, there was a misfire like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Then something happened. Johnny Depp found his stride in the most unlikely of places.
