Johnny Depp's Most Played Character (It's Not Jack Sparrow!)

Which Character Has Johnny Depp Played the Most?

You're probably thinking Captain Jack Sparrow when you see Johnny Depp - but that's actually NOT his most-played role! You'd never guess who takes the top spot.

Is it a Movie Role?

Nope! Johnny Depp's actually done a lot of voice acting - but you're in for a surprise. It's not even one of those famous movie roles!

What Is His Most Reprised Role?

  • It's Johnny Puff, a character from Arctic Dogs. Now, that movie isn't very famous. He even speaks in this totally made-up language in that movie - a pretty funny touch.
  • But Arctic Dogs, surprisingly, spawned a ton of spin-off projects. Depp played the character in over 70 episodes! We are talking about over 92 appearances! That's a lot!

What About Jack Sparrow?

Well, Jack Sparrow has always been one of Depp's most loved characters. Depp played him in five Movies, which is pretty great, but if you’re looking for the top spot, it's Tom Hanson. He played Tom on 21 Jump Street - in 82 episodes!

Did Depp Play Other Popular Roles More Than Once?

  • Gellert Grindelwald - he got to play this cool Harry Potter character in two of the Fantastic Beasts films. That was almost his second most played character, but it got messed up a little!
  • It is super strange. A lot of Depp's characters really stuck around! That's because those roles were pretty important, so he loved to play them!

So yeah! You can't forget Captain Jack Sparrow, but in the end, Johnny Puff actually took the prize. Maybe that's just because of the voice acting gig! You can be a big star - even if you are voicing a character from a not-so-famous movie!
