Then you would be wrong especially when it comes to Depp......maybe nowaday's he's playing the same sort of stuff except for a few exceptions (Public Enemies, Rum Diaries, 21 Jump Street cameo, few others) regardless of what you think about this movies.

LOL at Cruise playing the same character in every film. Depp as well. I guess you think Edward Scissorhands acts the [b]exact same way as Jack Sparrow? [/B]
My point being is that everybody is saying Ben Affleck's improved as an actor & to give him more credit now that he's a director as well.
That's like saying Affleck never gave 100%...until now.
Whether Depp is Edward or Jack, he's still playing the same generic character with quirky traits...that's really no stretch of acting abilities is it?
Donnie Brasco to Wonka...well for starters, Depp played Donnie straight considering it's based on a real life FBI informant...as for Wonka, that wasn't acting, that was just downright a creepy performance.

Being famous for playing drunk & drug addicted characters in a comical way doesn't exactly scream versatile.
