Johnny Depp In The Lone Ranger
This is only the first example of a white person cast to play a character from a different racial background. It looks like things are not going very well for Johnny Depp, not only in his personal life but also with his career. We doubt that he felt happy about how much The Lone Ranger bombed. It reportedly cost Disney $190 million after it failed to impress both the audiences and critics. Some of them were especially bothered by the decision to cast Depp as Tanto, who was meant to be Native American. It is true that the actor has played very different characters over the course of his career. We have no problems seeing him in prosthetics and heavy makeup, but it did not feel right to see him in indigenous attire and makeup!
