Donnie Brasco stars Johnny Depp – fuhgettaboutit.
My Favorite Son kept hyping my about DONNIE BRASCO. So I watched it. Fuggedaboutit. And Johnny Depp. Fuggedaboutit. No fungazy when it comes to acting.
Don’t know the man. Never will. Wouldn’t wanta have a beer with him. Comes across as an asshole in real life. But as an actor, madone. Ninety acting credits as of this writing.
That said, only saw six of his movies – CRY-BABY (1990) – WHAT’S EATING GILBERT GRAPE (1993) – ED WOOD (1994) – DONNIE BRASCO (1997) – FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS (1998) – BLOW (2001). Loved all six & marveled at his acting prowess.
On the other side of the coin, you couldn’t pay me to watch EDWARD SCISSORHANDS (1990) or any of the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN movies.
But credit where credit’s due – Johnny Depp is one of the most versatile actors ever.
I’m America’s Best Crime Writer – Barry Bowe – & I approve this message.
My first book – BORN TO BE WILD – Published in 1992 – Still selling on Amazon & Kindle. A true story about certain members of the Warlocks motorcycle gang.
The story took 21 years to play out – many twists & turns – an amalgam of SONS OF ANARCHY & BREAKING BAD – but these outlaw bikers make the SONS look like Cub Scouts.
