Johnny Depp is a great actor. He doesn't always do the same roles, but he tends to work often with Burton (and why not, Burton practically made his career with Edward Scissor Hands, when no one else would give him a lead in a movie)

- The Libertine
- The Brave
- From Hell
- Finding Neverland
- Blow
- Donnie Brasco
- Don Juan DeMarco
- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
- What's Eating Gilbert Grape

Are some I can name off the top of my head that aren't nothing like his character in Alice.

Reviewer/Critic, thats what they do.

I like Depp because he takes risks, theres been so many times he could have taken an easy way out and become stereotyped into a certain character role. With risk you get hits and misses, in my opinion he's had more hits.

Blow is a great movie.

Am i the only one that thinks Johnny Depp plays the SAME fuckin character in every movie?
I used to think that, but I changed my mind when I took other movies he has done into consideration.

Without Burton, Depp can play any other character amazingly.

With him, they seem very familiar because of some characteristics, but mainly their look. Ultimately they're their own characters though.

Tim Burton has a specific style of film-making so if you just look at Burton/Depp movies to justify an over-all opinion on Depp you will think that way, but your opinion will be wrong.
Depp emerses himself into a role, and he is part of that elite group of actors who I can watch and find myself believing he IS that character.
