Depp played the role of Glen Lantz, Nancy's boyfriend. His death scene, in which his own bed swallows him up before spewing a geyser of blood, made for one of the most horrifically surreal moments of the film. While Depp's role was minimal, imagery of his character's gruesome fate stayed with fans for years after the movie premiered.
His brief but memorable performance in this franchise-launching hit was enough for the young actor to garner some attention and land other roles following the film's release.

Depp played a lead role until leaving the show at the end of its fourth season.
After his role on 21 Jump Street , Depp became a popular name and face with the teenage crowd. Orange Coast Magazine stated that at public events for the show, crowds made up of thousands of teenagers would show up just to steal a glance at their favorite undercover television cops.
While many actors would be overjoyed at accumulating such an enthusiastic fanbase, Depp didn't want to fall into the trap of becoming so big that he couldn't work on smaller projects that appealed to him.

I was showing him this first-edition book I have of the complete works of [ Edgar Allan Poe ], with really amazing illustrations. Vincent was going nuts over the drawings, and he started talking about The Tomb of Ligeia Then he closed the book and began to recite it to me in this beautiful voice, filling the room with huge sounds.
Such passion! I looked in the book later, and it was verbatim. Word perfect. It was a great moment. I'll never forget that. The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants.
One of the greatest things I've ever seen happen was the morning I opened the newspaper and it said that some very powerful government officials had decided to change the name of "french fries" to "freedoom fries" and "french toast" to "freedom toast".
It was impressive. I wanted to write a letter to them just to thank them, just for proving globally that they were absolute imbeciles. America is dumb. It's like a dumb puppy that has big teeth that can bite and hurt you, aggressive. My daughter is four, my boy is one. I'd like them to see America as a toy, a broken toy. Investigate it a little, check it out, get this feeling and then get out. Taken in context, what I was saying was that, compared to Europe, America is a very young country and we are still growing as a nation.
It is a shame that the metaphor I used was taken so radically out of context and slung about irresponsibly by the news media. There was no anti-American sentiment. In fact, it was just the opposite. I am an American. I love my country and have great hopes for it. It is for this reason that I speak candidly and sometimes critically about it. I have benefited greatly from the freedom that exists in my country and for this I am eternally grateful.
France and the whole of Europe have a great culture and an amazing history. Most important thing, though, is that people there know how to live! In America they've forgotten all about it. I'm afraid that the American culture is a disaster. I can remember when I finished Edward Scissorhands , looking in the mirror as the girl was doing my make-up for the last time and thinking -- it was like the 90th or 89th day of shooting -- and I remember looking and going, "Wow, this is it.
I'm saying goodbye to this guy, I'm saying goodbye to Edward Scissorhands". You know, it was kind of sad.
