I, for one, had written off Depp's film career even before it began. I mean,
if you want to talk about pretention, talk about a TV hearthrob who actually
thinks he can act. Then I saw him in Water's _Cry_Baby_. I thought, "Now
here's a guy who can take a risk." Depp's career is built on risks (and a few
misses as a result). I am continually impressed with his choices and depth of
characterization. It seems to me he's got a good thing going. He works
continually. He does interesting things and he doesn't have the kind of
spotlight he did as the teen idol. Now I go to most of his films because I
trust his taste. I think he's brilliant, but I'd love to see him stretch in a
role that really requires that he *talk*.
