Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp had dreams of becoming not a movie star, but a rock star. His friend, Nicholas Cage, convinced him to audition for Nightmare on Elm Street. Wes Craven, the creator, had his daughter watch the auditions, and she voted Depp as the best for the part. His character of Glen is now one of the most famous death scenes in film history, and all thanks to Nicholas Cage.
