Johnny Depp as Edward Scissorhands

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Johnny Depp reveals why he nearly rejected an audition for Tim Burton's 1990 fantasy hit, Edward Scissorhands, telling his agent to "please cancel the meeting." Directed by Burton, the darkly fantastical film follows an unfinished artificial humanoid with scissor blades for hands who is adopted by a suburban family and falls in love with their teenage daughter.

He’s never going to cast me when everyone in Hollywood is after the part. Tim’s really juggling because he’s getting hit by his agent, the studio, everybody. So I called my agent after reading the script and said, "Please cancel the meeting, I’m not going." She said, "Are you f---ing nuts?" It was weird because there’s always that bastard in your skull that goes "Come on, man. You’re a TV actor guy." Because at that time it was almost either-or.

However, in 1990, Depp was still widely known as a TV actor due to 21 Jump Street and, as he explains, there was a certain stigma surrounding TV actors that made Depp feel like he couldn't compete with major movie stars like Cruise or Hanks. However, today, the rest is history, as Depp got the role in Edward Scissorhands and his performance was widely regarded as exceptional.
