He has, however, expressed fondness for certain characters:
* Captain Jack Sparrow: This is perhaps his most famous and recognizable role, and Depp has said he enjoys playing the "weird and wonderful" character.
* Edward Scissorhands: This character is often cited by Depp as being close to his heart. He's called it a "beautiful" and "important" role.
* Sweeney Todd: Depp has described this role as a "dream" and said he loved the darkness and complexity of the character.
Ultimately, it's likely that Depp has a special connection to many of his characters, and it's impossible to definitively say which is his absolute favorite.
