Arguably the best actor alive turns 45 today. We'd like to wish Johnny Depp a very happy birthday!

Depp has been nominated for three Academy Awards, though he's yet to take home a trophy. There's little doubt, however, that this will happen at some point for the man that mad Captain Jack Sparrow into an icon.

Here's a look at other films the star has amazed us in:

• Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
• Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
  
• Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
• Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
  
• Chocolat
• Finding Neverland
