July 13, 2005 – IGN Entertainment Interview – A conversation with the new Willy Wonka. “Johnny is a great character actor,” says director Tim Burton. “A character actor in the form of a leading man. That’s what struck me about him from the very beginning and it’s what makes him such an intriguing actor – the fact that he’s not necessarily interested in his image but more in becoming the character and trying different things. He’s willing to take risks. Each time I work with him he’s something different.”
