Following the film's success, Depp carved a niche for himself as a serious, somewhat dark, idiosyncratic performer, consistently selecting roles that surprised critics and audiences alike. He continued to gain critical acclaim and increasing popularity by appearing in many features before re-joining with Burton in the lead role of Ed Wood in 1994. In 1997 he played an undercover FBI agent in the fact-based film Donnie Brasco in 1997, opposite Al Pacino; in 1998 he appeared in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas in 1998, directed by Terry Gilliam; and then, in 1999, he appeared in the sci-fi/horror film The Astronaut's Wife in 1999.

Depp has played many characters in his career,including another fact-based one, Insp. Fred Abberline in From Hell in 2001. He stole the show from screen greats such as Antonio Banderas in the finale to Robert Rodriguez's "mariachi" trilogy, Once Upon a Time in Mexico in 2003. In that same year he starred in the marvelous family blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl in 2003, playing a character that only the likes of Depp could pull off: the charming, conniving and roguish Capt. Jack Sparrow. The film's enormous success has opened several doors for his career and included an Oscar nomination. He appeared as the central character in the Stephen King-based movie, Secret Window in 2004; as the kind-hearted novelist James Barrie in the factually-based Finding Neverland in 2004, where he co-starred with Kate Winslet; and Rochester in the British film, The Libertine in 2004.
