real name: Johnny Depp
industry name: Johnny Depp
birthdate: June 9, 1963
birthplace: rural Kentucky
height: 5'9ish
eyes: brown. occasionally wears glasses.
hair: dark brown, not quite to shoulders
distinguishing marks: usually wears a goatee. ears pierced, sometimes wears very fine small gold hoops. has several tattoos, the most prominent being the large pair on his biceps (an Indian chief and a bleeding heart, with the name "Betty", on the right and left respectively) and one of a bird in flight in front of a rising sun, with the name "Jack," covering his right forearm.
education: 11th grade, followed by autodidactic pursuits. once took a college philosophy course just for the hell of it and dropped it after three weeks in somewhat bemused disdain.
professionally: modestly calls himself an "adult entertainment director" - he is also the chief, cook, and bottle washer at Depper Baby Yeah (DBY Entertainment, Inc.), ie is president, ceo, ibid. the company is comfortably in the black, as is Johnny himself.
he got his start in his late teens in front of the camera, in Asia; how he got there a long story that he doesn't like to tell. upon coming back to the States he found himself pinch hitting as a cameraman one day, and then sweet-talked his way into the director's chair. he freelanced in Cali and Mexico until 1993, when he went to work in Prague for a year; then freelanced in Europe until his return to L.A in late 1997. he founded DBY shortly thereafter.
family: only child, he is "half good-ole-boy and half Cherokee" but estranged from his family. his childhood was unpleasant at best; the subject is off-limits. now his family is self-made.
hobbies/interests: loves to jam and record his noodlings; loves to make his own independent films for friends and himself. he's got an opium habit that seems to be as under control as such a thing can be. also enjoys: classic cartoons, classic rock, classic cars
home: 3-br house in the Hollywood Hills. pool and guesthouse on the property.
transportation: has two cherry muscle cars, a '69 Camaro and a '67 GTO. usually drives the Camaro, calls it his 'redneckmobile' with no irony at all.
sexuality: flexible, more gay than not. he's attracted to beauty, warmth, honesty, intellect.
relationships: romantically, currently nothing major. recently has developed an ongoing sexual relationship with Orlando, whom he adores deeply, but the love of his life was the one that got away, Jack. they lived together in London from 1994-1997 and had an intense relationship. Johnny doesn't discuss Jack.
otherwise, Johnny has a myriad of casual friends and industry accquaintances, but his closest friends are the people he has brought into DBY. there he's created a sort of utopian society for himself, his pornographic Disneyworld. he prefers to see the very best in everyone, despite spending half his life being let down by nearly everyone he knew. he prefers peace, tranquility, free love, positivity, and doesn't mind if more cynical people think those things are ridiculous. he figures that he himself proof that if you want peace badly enough, you can find it.
above all, he knows who he is, where he comes from, and where he's going next.
