VIDEO : Johnny Depp Pays Tribute to Wes Craven: ?The Guy Who Gave Me My Start?

Johnny Depp took questions at a rare public Q&A on Monday night at a screening of his Warner Bros. film ?Black Mass? at the Toronto International Film Festival. The actor, who plays Boston gangster James ?Whitey? Bulger in the movie, turned reflective for a moment when a fan asked him about the late director Wes Craven casting him in his breakthrough role in 1984?s ?Nightmare on Elm Street.?
? Wes Craven was the guy who gave me my start, from my perspective, for almost no reason in particular,? Depp said of the horror-movie legend who died at 76 from brain cancer last month. ?I read scenes with his daughter when I auditioned for the part. At the time, I was a musician. I wasn?t really acting. It was not anything very near to my brain or my heart, which is pretty much how it remains to this day.? The line got a big laugh.
