The “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor plays Irish-American
gangster James “Whitey” Bulger in the movie.
The film looks at Bulger’s reign as the boss of the
Irish-American underworld and the connections he forged with the
FBI which used him as a paid informer in order to crack down on
the rival Italian-American mafia.
“I approached James Bulger as a human being who … was
multifaceted and did have a side to him that was … human, loving
and all that,” Depp said at a news conference.
“And then he had his business and as we all know there are
certain businesses out there that the language of that work is
violence."
The film also stars Joel Edgerton, Benedict Cumberbatch and
Dakota Johnson.
