‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ director: Johnny Depp ranks with Valentino, Gable and Bogart
Johnny Depp will be remembered as the greatest star of his time and history will rank him with celluloid legends such as Humphrey Bogart, Rudolph Valentino and Clark Gable, according to Rob Marshall, the director of “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” the Disney seafaring adventure that (for now) stands as the biggest international box office hit of 2011.
“He’s as vivid as those great stars of the past, Humphrey Bogart and Clark Gable and Errol Flynn,” Marshall said. ”Many, many, many years from now, when people look at this generation of Hollywood, he will be considered the great star of this era. He’s his own thing and he takes major chances every single time he makes a film.”

Karen that's a nice article & I think I agree that Johnny will leave a legacy much like other great actors--I also enjoyed Rob Marshall's comments in this part:
QUOTE
Marshall, the 50-year-old filmmaker who was nominated for an Oscar for “Chicago,” said he had been told by “Pirates” producer Jerry Bruckheimer to expect something special from Depp once the cameras began rolling and that’s precisely what happened.
“I remember Jerry saying to me once that Johnny could have been a silent film star — and it’s true,” Marshall said. “He’s like a Rudolph Valentino. He has such a command of expression without words. The humor and the feelings he can convey with his face alone is extraordinary. He’s this consummate artist who is also like the nicest, most generous man. The comparisons that come to mind with him are Charlie Chaplin and Errol Flynn. He’s a throwback to another time. To me he is, honestly, a star from another time. He is that unique.”
This is the quality that has drawn me to admire Depp's talent---his subtle changes in expression, which I think many overlook as fantastic acting & difficult to sustain over the length of a film.

I completely agree with everything! I have always said that Johnny has great facial expressions and for me, if I don't believe it in your eyes, I don't believe it. Johnny has never failed me in that sense.
