Edward Scissorhands was created by an ageing inventor who lived in a huge, dark house on a hill. Unfortunately, the inventor died before Edward was complete and he was left with sharp blades instead of hands. He was taken in by a suburban family, where he sculpted the neighbour's topiaries, groomed their dogs, and styled their hair.

Answer: Edward Scissorhands
Although it wasn't Depp's first movie, "Edward Scissorhands" (1990) was the first Depp movie I ever saw and it enchanted me. It was described as a 'dark fantasy film' but it was pure romance with the young, handsome and 'lost' looking Depp playing a guy with scissors for hands who falls in love with a real girl, played by Winona Ryder. Although Tom Cruise, Michael Jackson, Tom Hanks, William Hurt, Robert Downey Jr. and Jim Carrey were considered for the role of Edward, director Tim Burton always had Depp in mind as his first choice. When Depp was sent the script, he confessed that he "wept like a newborn" because he found deep personal and emotional connections with Edward - and that emotional depth came through clearly in the movie.

Answer: The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
In "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" (2009) Depp (and others) took over the role that Heath Ledger had played - Tony ('the hanging man') who was a disgraced philanthropist saved by a travelling theatre troupe whose leader, Doctor Parnassus (played by Christopher Plummer), had wagered his daughter, Valentina, with the Devil according to whoever wins five souls first. When Ledger died during production, Tony's role was recast so that several actors could play him in his various 'transformations'. Playing Tony as the troupe's 'barker', Depp put on a rakish appearance to lure women through the magical mirror and give them their heart's desire, but successfully steered them away from the devil's motel and in doing so won four souls for Doctor Parnassus. The next 'transformation' of Tony's character was then taken on by Jude Law. Actually, the only part of the movie I remember well was Depp's elegant dance with one of the ladies he beguiled! His deep compassion for her longings and his moral duty to steer her out of trouble was very touching.

Answer: Sleepy Hollow
Johnny Depp's character, Ichabod Crane, has come to Sleepy Hollow to investigate murders, reportedly by a headless horseman. This line is said to establish Crane's experience with murders. Reportedly, Depp based his character (Ichabod Crane) on Withnail, played by Richard E. Grant in 1987's "Withnail and I". Also, Ichabod Crane was supposedly a very ugly man and Johnny Depp wanted to add prosthetics to his own face to make himself ugly, but director Tim Burton wouldn't allow it. Burton wanted to base the character more on Crane's unattractive personality traits such as his eccentricity and squeamishness.
