Black Mass star Johnny Depp on Monday talked about the long hours in make-up, down to a hairpiece, required to become the cold-blooded Boston gangster James "Whitey" Bulger in the upcoming Warner Bros. release. Depp told the Black Mass press conference at the Toronto Film Festival that, "When you play someone who either existed or exists, there's a tremendous amount of responsibility." Black Mass debuted in Venice before shifting to Toronto. Directed by Scott Cooper, the film sees Depp play the notorious gangster. Black Mass follows an FBI agent, played by Joel Edgerton, who in 1970s Boston persuades Irish mobster Bulger to collaborate with the FBI to eliminate their common enemy, the Italian mob. Black Mass debuts worldwide Sept. 18.
