From Quiz The Depth of Depp

Answer: A Nightmare on Elm Street

"A Nightmare on Elm Street" was released in 1984. It was the beginning of one of the most iconic horror franchises in history, which saw disfigured killer Freddy Krueger haunt, stalk and kill the teenaged children of Elm Street...in their dreams! Freddy is motivated by revenge on the parents of Elm Street, who themselves murdered him for killing a child whilst working as a school janitor. In the movie, Depp played the protagonist's boyfriend. His character was the first really memorable murder by Freddy, after being sucked into his own mattress, unleashing an avalanche of blood! (It was pretty cool!)

From Quiz The Depth of Depp

Answer: 21 Jump Street

Depp had a small cameo alongside his partner from the TV series, Peter DeLuise. The movie follows two mis-matched cops who go undercover to redeem theirselves by busting a drug ring operating out of a high school, after their first arrest goes horribly wrong. Unsurprisingly, it does not go too smoothly, but there are good laughs to be had from Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum's odd couple! The other three answers have all had actors from the originals reprise their roles in big-screen adaptations: John Forsythe retained his role as Charlie in the 2000 film "Charlie's Angels" (though of course, he wasn't seen), Lou Ferrigno was again the Hulk in 2008's "The Incredible Hulk" and of course the Muppets are themselves in just about everything!
