Excited fans packed\u00a0the streets outside of the Arlington Theater<\/a> anxiously awaiting the arrival of the recipient of this year’s Santa Barbara International Film Festival<\/a>\u2019s Maltin Modern Masters award<\/a>, Johnny Depp<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Depp\u00a0greeted his screaming fans on the Santa Barbara International Film Festival red carpet. Once backstage, the montage rolled with some highlights from his illustrious career\u2014from Benny and Joon<\/a><\/em> to Edward Scissorhands<\/a><\/em> to Pirates of the Caribbean<\/a><\/em> and Black Mass<\/a><\/em>, Depp has had an impressive and varied career.<\/p>\n

Moderator Leonard Maltin<\/a>\u00a0covered the full span of Depp’s\u00a0career, from his start as a struggling musician who fell into acting, all the way through his most recent performance in Black Mass<\/em>. Depp kept the audience laughing, with funny stories from his many attempts at getting fired from jobs (including one particular time when he refused to remove a turban filming 21 Jump Street<\/em>) and the many subsequent apologies to his agent Tracey Jacobs<\/a> who was also in the audience. When Maltin attempted to redirect the conversation towards a more serious route, Depp quickly responded “Is Barbara Walters here? Am I gonna cry?”<\/p>\n

At the end of the conversation, Depp’s Black Mass<\/em> director Scott Cooper<\/a>\u00a0gave a heartfelt presentation as he gave him\u00a0the\u00a0Maltin Modern Master Award.<\/p>\n
