Is there a more versatile actor than Johnny Depp?

[Animavore]

You're joking... yeah?

He's a one trick pony.

[Millefleur]

He does eccentric very well but can't say I've seen him do much else, which is fine by me as eccentric floats my boat

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Yep, Ichabod Crane was exactly the same character as Gilbert Grape, who was very much like Edward Scissorhands.

[Feck]

But he is awful pretty.

He can do a lot of characters, you'd have to watch his pre-Carribean movies to see it though. Most of his after Jack have been samey.
