None of these roles had enough face paint for Depp.

He's a good actor that can basically play the weird or bizarre roles alone, so he always ends up in those roles.


FIFY

Depp doesn't have a monopoly on weird roles, nor is he absolutely fantastic (hence his lack of staying power now). The frantic feel of 90% of his characters has grown stale, that will be apparent with The Lone Ranger's take.

I would say that he is better than a good actor. His roles don't do him justice is all. That is why I said that I don't like him in 90% of his roles that he does.

I thought he was great as Dillinger in Public Enemies, really good in Finding Neverland, Secret Window, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, fantastic in Blow, really good in Astronaut's Wife, Ninth Gate, Brasco, Don Juan Demarco and Fear and Loathing.

Most of his acting jobs are very good, it is just that I don't enjoy those really off the wall characters he does with Burton and I don't like his gay pirate Sparrow.

Depp is definitely fading away into anonymity.
