Johnny Depp
Depp never wanted to be an actor growing up. One day, he decided to join his pal Jackie Earle Haley on a car ride to bring him to an audition for Nightmare on Elm Street. Haley didn't get the part, but when the director, Wes Craven, saw Depp smoking outside the studio, he asked him to come in and audition for a role.
Becoming Someone Fast
Depp made the cut and ended up playing Glenn. He was involved in one of the most horrifying murder scenes in horror movie history because he was smoking a cigarette in the right place at the right time. Depp then went on to become one of the most notable actors in Hollywood history.
