#8: Nobody Does it Like Johnny
There are some films and television shows out there that are what they are due to the people that were cast to play certain characters. Even though the entire Harry Potter franchise wasn’t specifically cast for Daniel Radcliffe, it would be weird if someone else was to play him. And the same goes for many other franchises in Hollywood that rely on specific actors to play certain characters. Sure, there are many elements that make a good film or television show, but you can’t have Pirates of the Caribbean without Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow.
And we’re pretty sure the internet agrees with us… The movie business is a hard business because you never quite know when a big risk is going to pay off. But it seems to be a consensus that no longer having Johnny Depp in the Pirates of the Caribbean only hurt the franchise… Even if every other cast member was to stay the same, something about the film itself would have lost its special essence. The wonderful thing about Johnny Depp is that he is so versatile that he can play literally any character and nail the delivery.
