The Evolution Of Johnny Depp

From teen dream victim to public enemy...

By James WhiteJun 29th 2009

1. Glen Lantz - A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984)

The role: The coiffed young Johnny makes his debut as one of the teens hunted and haunted through their dreams by killer Freddy Krueger.

Sadly, he falls victim to the blade-wearing demon midway through the film when he falls asleep.

But Depp does what he can with the role, and showed early signs of his quirky charm.

Jack Sparrow-o-meter: He doesn’t get to act silly, he mostly seems concerned and then dies in a gush of gore and bone fragments. Can't say I'd have him on my crew. 2/10.
