I love Tom Cruise in a sense he has his own style of acting but trying to picture him as Edward Scissorhands is a NIGHTMARE!

Johnny Depp is far different from TC. He always give life to every character he plays. TC just happens to be a superstar at that time but honeslty I find his acting rather flat!. He could never justify Edward Scissorhands role if it was given to him… Thank God for brilliant people who doesn’t go for super stars!

Cruise WAS A BETTER AND CONFIRED ACTOR AT THAT TIME.

DEPP WAS A TV STAR!

Tom didn’t accepted the role because of miscavige scientology leader

Wenn made up this story, of course Depp would nver talk like that, he already said he adore Tom.

My daughter and I were discussing this and she said Johnny Depp gave an interview on the Actor’s Studio. I guess it is a show with just the actor and host on stage and the audience can ask questions too?? Anyway, she said that Johnny Depp said that except for the 21 Jump Street show, he has always chosen parts that he can see some of himself in. Edward Scissorhands was one of his favorite.

Oh Doug you are right. I never see Samuel Jackson but his character. And you know another actor who I never saw during the entire movie is Jamie Fox. That movie was like watching Ray Charles himself. That was something like a 3 hour movie and I don’t think I moved once during it. Amazing. I haven’t seen all of Johnny Depp’s movies because frankly some of them are just a bit too strange. LOL

So funny, I dont get the Johnny Depp thing at ALL. I agree, an amazing actor, but I dont get the appeal, and yes, I know I am in the minority on this one.
I guess I like them a bit more clean cut.

Johnny Depp reminds me of another fine actor who sometimes doesn’t get his dues in Hollywood. Actor Samuel Jackson has that wonderful ability to morph into each character with great believability with so much great range. Great actor.

TC owns Maverick. He just is Maverick, Johnny Depp and the parts he has chosen? Fit him to a tee. When I watched Edward Scissorhands, I didn’t see Johnny Depp. That is great acting.

Tom play those roles well but neither had the character movement that Edward Scissorhands had. Toms body does not flow the way that character flows. Sorry but tom does not have rhythm to his movements.
Have you ever seen him dance? hehe Even in Cocktail he was flat. just sayin’

Love Johnny Depp, Love TC more. I have no doubt TC would have done the role justice. He can do anything. Remember born on the 4th of July? Rain man? But I have to agree Johnny Depp was superb in the role.
