wow, i've read all these posts and everyone has very great opinions. i agree, johnny depp is gorgeous, but i'm afraid that may be the only reason many people would like for him to play this role. he is a brilliant actor, which many have mentioned, but i think he should get more credit for that rather than the fact that he is (whether he likes it or  not) a sex symbol. i would love for him to get this part, not only because he's a great actor but also because him and burton work so fantastic together. i also think christopher walkin would be terrific as willy! perhaps tim will stumble upon these posts and maybe consider walkin for the role, wouldn't that be interesting? and although many have pointed out that he looks quite old for willy many have ceased to notice that johnny looks a little too young? i guess make-up could fix that for either of them though, aye? i do wonder how johnny can look so young at the age of 40...well anywho, what about marilyn manson? i think he would be superb for this role! without his make-up he looks just the right age, and his fans have been waiting forever for him to get this oppurtunity, i'm sure. the idea of giving this role to someone who is less famous just doesn't work, i'm sorry. i think this film would be better off with a well known actor so it's even more enjoyable than it already will be to fans, not to mention the money it will rake in. perhaps burton isn't as interested in the money as he is in the film itself, but i don't see what difference it would make otherwise. i guess i should quit babbling now. good day.
