Depp received even more acclaim in the late 90s for “Donnie Brasco” and “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”. The Terry Gilliam-directed “Fear and Loathing” saw him portray infamous journalist Hunter S. Thompson, a role he will more or less play again in 2008’s “The Rum Diary”. Depp re-teamed with Burton in 1999 for “Sleepy Hollow” after two thriller duds, “The Astronaut’s Wife” and the Roman Polanski-directed “The Ninth Gate”. After well-received turns in the Oscar-nominated “Chocolat” and “Blow”, Depp played his most popular character ever in 2003’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl”. As the Keith Richards-inspired pirate Jack Sparrow, Depp brought his signature sense of humor to a mainstream action film, and it paid off in spades for both the actor and for Disney, the film’s financier. Depp earned his first Oscar nomination for his hilarious turn, which is easily the most popular performance of the last decade.
