He is mainstream cinema’s chief chameleon, a performer whose characters are often defined by peculiar costumes, outlandish makeup and eccentric natures, yet—to the actor’s credit—infused with a vital understanding of the human condition. On the heels of the release of his 45th motion picture, The Lone Ranger, we thought we’d take a look back at the various parts the actor has taken on, from his early teenager roles to more recent flights of fancy. “I think it's an actor's responsibility to change every time,” said Depp, who recently quipped about his dream role: playing the central character in a Carol Channing biopic. “If you just go out and deliver the same dish every time—‘it's meat loaf again!’—you'd get bored, I'd get bored…With any part you play, there is a certain amount of yourself in it. There has to be, otherwise it's just not acting. It's lying. I don't pretend to be captain weird. I just do what I do.”
