Depp shares secrets to being a great actor
    2018-12-20  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

U.S. actor Johnny Depp shared his experiences in acting with young Chinese actors and filmmakers in a masterclass held in Sanya, Hainan Province, on Saturday, one day before the closing ceremony of the first Hainan International Film Festival.

Depp, who played the malevolent wizard Gellert Grindelwald in the newly-released fantasy movie “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald,” is known for his portrayal of eccentric characters in films like “Ed Wood,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” as well as his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series. He has won 28 major film-related awards and been nominated 33 times, including three Oscar nominations.

Observation is very important to an actor, Depp said. “One of my favorite things in the world is watching people,” Depp said. In his view, actors should be good observers, watching people’s body language and speaking style, and transforming this into their own abilities to progress in acting, and even in life.

Depp also explained his philosophy of acting — be responsible to the writers, directors, the audience and himself.

“The most important thing an actor can do for a film is to provide choices,” Depp stressed. This meant that every take should be different. “I think you’re only doing half a job if you don’t deliver options to the director.”
