His film career began with a remarkable debut in "Nightmare on Elm Street" (1984), which led to a career filled with challenging roles. His chameleon-like ability to embody diverse and eccentric characters is best exemplified by his collaboration with Tim Burton, which began with "Edward Scissorhands" (1990) and spanned more than two decades, resulting in some of the most memorable characters in film history. For Depp, acting is about reacting authentically in the moment. He stresses the importance of giving the director choices, ensuring that every take has a unique and impactful edge.
