My wife and daughter were watching "Chocolat" yesterday as I walked into the room. Watched maybe five minutes of it, the lead guy looked familiar, but I just couldn't place him. Johnny Depp, without all the makeup, playing a "normal" guy, not all eccentric and weird, and I didn't recognize him.
He really is a great actor, and I understand him wanting to take on unusual, off-the-wall roles. I just wish he'd mix up a few more normal ones in there.
