Searching for Johnny Depp on HWIYC!

j deppJohnny Depp. Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp. Such a beautiful man. I mean, seriously. Is there another man on earth (with the possible exception of Dick Cheney) who wears eyeliner better? And he’s back bigger than ever as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. Johnny’s one of those rare actors who can move between big budget action projects and intimate indy films with grace, aplomb, and ever-changing facial hair.

But do you remember where this white-hot superstar came from? Do you remember back before Pirates, before Willy Wonka, before Ed Wood, before Edward Scissorhands? Do you remember 21 Jump Street??? Call us old skool if you want, but we remember Johnny fondly as sweet-faced undercover officer Tom Hanson on the Stephen J. Cannell produced crime drama. And while, we’re glad that Johnny made the leap from tv star to Movie Star, we do sorta regret the effect his success in the film world has had on countless other hot young television actors (and yes, we’re talking about you, James van der Beek. Or is it Casper Van Dien?).

Johnn- damn, Stephen J. Cannell produced 21 Jump Street. The same brilliant mind that created The A-Team. This begs the question, when are we going to see the Johnny Depp- Mr. T road movie? Who can we talk to to make this dream a reality???

Anyway, Johnny Depp is back and everybody loves him, even the French. And we at Tomorrowpictures.tv are not immune to his rakish charms. We’ve been hitting the streets of Hollywood on Oscar Day for years, and every year it becomes more and more apparent that the Touristas from the world over come to the scenic corner of Hollywood and Highland for one purpose- to see the Deppster in full effect, to bask for just a moment in his radiance.

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls. tomorrowpictures.TV is proud to present a new Hollywood If You Could program: Searching for Johnny Depp. Shine on Johnny, Shine on.

Boris Yeltsin, Former Russian President, Dies at 76.

boris yeltsinBoris Yeltsin, the former president of the Russian Federation, died Monday, April 23 of heart failure, according to the Kremlin. Boris Yeltsin was an engineer and minor Communist Party official in the old Soviet Union before being elected to the Russian presidency in 1989. Eager to speed up reforms, he opposed the policies of Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, yet was instrumental in defeating a coup against Gorbachev in 1991. After the U.S.S.R. collapsed, Yeltsin remained in power, and despite political setbacks, rumors of heavy drinking and at least two heart attacks, was re-elected to office in 1996. He retired abruptly on 31 December 1999, declaring to the press that “Russia must enter the new millennium with new politicians.” His replacement was the current Russian president, Vladimir Putin.

Lee J. Cobb has Manic Depression on Medic!

Lee J. CobbMedic was a groundbreaking television show that debuted in America in 1954 and ran for two years on NBC. Other television programs had taken place in hospitals before, but none had ever shown a realistic and medically accurate portrayal of disease and the people who fought to cure it. In this Episode of Medic, Emmy-nominated actor Lee J. Cobb appears in a powerful performance as a bank teller who has undiagnosed Manic Depression, a condition that jeopardizes his family and his career. Medic, although shortlived, was deeply influential on the score of hospital dramas that would follow, and its style can still be felt today on network programs like ER, House and Grey’s Anatomy.
