Sketch: Yafiz Siddiqui

Johnny Depp is an American actor, film producer, and musician. 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. His most successful commercial film is Pirates of the Caribbean. He has been listed in the 2012 Guinness Book of World Records as the highest paid actor, with $75 million.

 "If you catch me saying 'I am a serious actor,' I beg you to slap me.
Life's pretty good, and why wouldn't it be? I'm a pirate, after all.
The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants.
I think everybody's nuts."
