There was a time when Johnny Depp wasn't a superstar. He's been a star and a respected actor for quite some time, but it wasn't until he donned a bandanna and put on eyeliner to play the colorful Captain Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" in 2003 that he graduated to the level of a Will Smith or Tom Cruise. Well, it turns out that if things had worked out differently, Depp would never have gotten the opportunity. If one of the film's writers had had his way, the part would have gone to Hugh Jackman.
