LOS ANGELES – Who exactly is Johnny Depp? Kids today know the actor for his colorful, Halloween-ready characters such as swaggering pirate Jack Sparrow, eccentric confectioner Willy Wonka and now as the gothic groom with cold feet named Victor. – By Hanh Nguyen – Zap2it.com.
In his latest guise, Depp gives voice to the stop-motion animated puppet hero in Tim Burton’s “Corpse Bride.” While filming “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” for Burton, Depp was called upon to create Victor on short notice. After shooting a scene earlier in the day as Wonka, the actor rushed over to the “Corpse Bride” recording studio where he cobbled together a persona based on a 15-minute grilling session with Burton.
