Martin Landau
“Johnny and I wound up liking each other enormously, I mean quickly. I love the kid, he’s terrific. He’s a good kid, he’s a talented kid. He comes in prepared. It’s like playing tennis with a good player, he makes your game better. You hit the ball and it comes back pretty good.”

(April 19, 2001) Johnny Depp, so often described as androgynously beautiful, is really more like a male cat, a creature so sure of himself that his more masculine traits aren't the first things you notice about him. You can see it in the way he underplays every role. Sometimes you look at him and you think he's not doing much at all; then you realize that what he's doing is so economical and so understated that you can't afford to take your eyes off him for an instant. He wastes no line, expression or arc of movement. Like those ancient inky creatures painted on Japanese scrolls with just two or three strokes, he's both the suggestion and the essence of feline masculinity, all implied muscle and Zen intelligence.

Michael Sragow
(November 18, 1999) S eguing from lightweight TV-series star to deep-dish actor has become increasingly commonplace (cf. Rick Schroder, Lisa Kudrow). But in the 10 years since he made his leap from Fox-TV's "21 Jump Street," Johnny Depp has managed the transition in a manner worthy of the Guinness Book of World Records -- or the Alec Guinness School of Screen Chameleons. In his major roles he's been a shape-changer, going from the conscience-ravaged FBI agent of "Donnie Brasco" to the conscience-free Hunter S. Thompson surrogate ("Raoul Duke") of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" without missing a beat or losing an ounce of conviction.

"Johnny Depp was as cool as cool gets. Talk about living on the edge! He's extraordinary, that guy."

Christopher Lee
Christopher told Total Film magazine, "Johnny Depp, as far as I'm concerned, is number one. Of his generation, there’s no one who can touch him. Some performers today, it's like looking at holes in the air."
 

Freddie Highmore
"He's fantastic.  "Every scene you do with him is a special scene; he's a fantastic man. It's neat because, in the film, Charlie has a dream to visit the chocolate factory, and it comes true. My dream was to work with Johnny again, and it also came true."

Kate Winslet

 "I've always been a fan of Johnny's work," she says. "I think the choices he's made are just exceptional and very brave. He's a great guy, a wonderful dad, and he's quite childlike as well. It was a very collaborative experience. He likes to share ideas, so we worked in quite similar ways. He would say to me, 'What do you think of that?' and I would say, 'Great, but try this'. And I would say the same to him, like 'Oh God, was that all right?' But then I'm like that, always saying 'That was pathetic'. And we both hate watching ourselves on screen, too - so we got on really, really well."
