Shivers, December 1999 – Johnny Depp Acting in Character for Sleepy Hollow
Title: Johnny Depp Acting in Character for Sleepy Hollow
Author: Jean Cummings
Publication: Shivers
Issue: December 1999
JOHNNY DEPP has always chosen roles that are different, and his newest film Sleepy Hollow he displays his talent for humour and drama in a film reminiscent of the Horror films of the ’50s and ’60s. Depp has the starring role in this new version of Washington Irving’s fable The Legend of Sleeply Hollow but the success of the film comes from the multi-faceted character of Ichabod Crane.
American-born Depp now lives with his wife Vanessa and their young daughter in France, but he had to adopt an English accent for the role of Crane. It is something he worked hard to develop.
Inspiration
“You know what I did?” he responds to our inquiry. “I watched a lot of old Horror films. People like Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee.” The inspiration for the character, he says, was in fact three people. “Number one was Basil Rathbone from the old Sherlock Holmes movies. Number two was a very great friend of mine that recently passed away, Roddy McDowell. He was a great man, a great actor and he was a very important model for the character. In a way this was my opportunity to tip my hat to him, to thank him, to salute him. The third was a terrific actress, Angela Lansbury, she was a great model for the character.

– Please don’t batch delete content (I mean, don’t delete the whole gallery and such). JDorg has become an archive of over 20 years. It’s probably the biggest Johnny Depp fansite in the web.
– you can decide on your own what to do and what not to do. I’d be happy to have the site live for the next 30 years. It shall become yours, you shall become part of this. This means: I don’t consider Johnny-Depp.org as “my” site, it is “ours” and I’m fine if you say elsewhere “I have a Johnny Depp fansite”.
– the site finances itself through ads. I’m sorry about that.
– if you ever are not interested in helping with the site anymore, please be honest and tell me! Interests change, that’s ok, mine did, too. I understand that. Just…tell me! If you did not update for 3 months / did not log in I guess you’re not interested anymore.

Sky Magazine, September 1991 – Johnny Deeper
Title: Johnny Deeper
Author: Bill Zehme
Publication: Sky Magazine
Issue: September 1991
Johnny Depp is his real name. As a boy he was ridiculed for it. In the schoolyard he was called Dipp. Or Deppity Dawg. Later he was called Johnny Deeper, this being based upon a popular adolescent joke he barely remembers: “Something about some guy having sex with some girl who kept saying, Johnny, deeper!’”
The day we meet he extends his hand to shake mine, except that his hand is more like a piece of weaponry. In place of fingers there are blades. We are on a Twentieth Century Fox sound stage where he is making Edward Scissorhands, his second major film, in which he portrays the man-made boy with scissors for fingers. He laughs quietly at his own comic gesture.
Later we meet one morning in a coffee shop, where Winona Ryder, his movie-star fiancée, has left him before driving off to do some errands. He is smoking too much and drinking too much coffee. He says he is enslaved by caffeine and nicotine and doesn’t sound proud of it. “I like to be pumped up and hacking phlegm at the same time,” he says wryly.
“Coupla tequila worms flying out here and there,” Depp says, but he is joking about that. He hasn’t touched the hard stuff for a solid month, maybe longer. Depp is as dry as he’s ever been in all of his 27 years.
