LOL! He is Johnny Depp. He originally went by the name Glen and then changed his name to Johnny Depp. Cause Johnny Depp sounds cooler than Glen.

Oh thanks. I figured because the movie came out in 1984 that it wasn't actually Depp himself

I was being silly. It says in the opening credits Introducing Johnny Depp.

No it can't be. This isn't directed by Tim Burton. Nope. Just checked. It was directed by a guy named....puts on bifocals....Wes...Craven. Therefore, this is not Johnny Depp.

I know what you mean.

There are points in that movie when he looks just like a young version of Johnny Depp.

What I don't get is that Johnny Depp is a A listed actor. But in this movie, hes more of a secondary character. I'm surpised he accepted this role

I know.

He must've had plenty of work in 1984.

He was not a big star in 1984. That's why.

You don't say.

The TC said he/she was surprised he wasn't one of the first people mentioned in the opening credits and said he was an A list actor. Which at the time he wasn't an A list actor.

I always thought he was overrated looks wise but he's delicious in this. I guess he didn't age well.
