Johnny Depp always has been one of our favorite and best actors but even he remembers his bad reputation. While we doing our interview a tray of glasses was dropped in another room with a loud crash. Johnny laughed and said “You saw me here. I couldn’t have done it! I’m going to get blamed for that” – by Daniel Robert Epstein for SuicideGirls.com.

Even just using his voice in the stop-motion animated Corpse Bride, the power of Depp comes through.
Corpse Bride is set in a 19th-century European village and follows the story of Victor [Johnny Depp], a young man whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious Corpse Bride [Helena Bonham Carter]. While his real bride, Victoria [Emily Watson], waits bereft in the land of the living.
Daniel Robert Epstein: How did you get into the character of a puppet?
Johnny Depp: I had the great luxury that when I arrived to do the recording Victor was standing there and so I got to meet the puppets. They were beautiful and really inspiring.
DRE: Did you think of anything specific when creating Victor’s voice?
JD: No, not particularly. I was just trying to save my own ass for being ill prepared. I didn’t realize that we were going to be doing the recording while I was shooting Wonka. Tim [Burton] was so helpful as he always is. He’s a character that’s not so far away other characters that I’ve played in the past for Tim like Edward Scissorhands because he’s a little bit of an outsider. A bumbling, deeply insecure nervous character. A lot like me in life.
