He has won the Golden Globe Award and Screen Actors Guild award for Best Actor. Depp rose to prominence on the 1980s television series 21 Jump Street, becoming a teen idol. Dissatisfied with that status, Depp turned to film for more challenging roles; he played the title character of the acclaimed Edward Scissorhands (1990) and later found box office success in films such as Sleepy Hollow (1999), Pirates of the Caribbean film series (2003–present), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), Alice in Wonderland (2010), and the film Rango (2011). He has collaborated with director and friend Tim Burton in eight films; the most recent being Dark Shadows (2012). Depp was born in Owensboro, Kentucky in 1963,[7][8] as the youngest of four children of Betty Sue Palmer (née Wells), a waitress, and John Christopher Depp, a civil engineer.[9][10] Depp moved frequently during his childhood, and he and his siblings lived in more than 20 different locations, settling in Miramar,[11] Florida, in 1970. In 1978, when he was 15, Depps parents divorced.[11][12] His mother married, as her second husband, Robert Palmer (died 2000), whom Depp has called an inspiration to me.[13] Depp engaged in self-harm when he was young, due to the stress of dealing with family problems, which resulted in several self-inflicted scars. In a 1993 interview, he reflected on his self-injury by saying My body is a journal in a way. Its like what sailors used to do, where every tattoo meant something, a specific time in your life when you make a mark on yourself, whether you do it yourself with a knife or with a professional tattoo artist. Depp starred in a lead role on the Fox television series, 21 Jump Street, which premiered in 1987.[11] Depp accepted this role to work with actor Frederic Forrest, who inspired him. Depps long-time friend Sal Jenco joined the cast as a semi-co-star as the janitor named Blowfish. The series success turned Depp into a popular teen idol during the late 1980s.[11] Despite this success, Depp felt forced into the role of product.[19] Depp subsequently decided to appear only in films that he felt were right for him.[19] Depp and his co-stars, Peter DeLuise and Holly Robinson, briefly reprised their roles in cameo appearances in the series 2012 feature film adaptation, which featured a much more comedic tone than the series.
