Just how deep does Johnny's acting ability go? Judge for yourself as you peruse the pages of his rise from '21 Jump Street' teen heartthrob to the later roles that enabled him to really flex his acting chops. And what fine chops they are.

How does one get in the mindset to accurately portray an angora-sweater-wearing, slap-happy director or a vulnerable toddler orphan with shears for hands? We have drawn blanks in our pondering of just who he may have turned to for inspiration. Perhaps there is more to draw on when one has to portray an angst-ridden vocal savant who can shed a tear on a dime, clad in leather and in love with the virginal. Could this acting thing be easier than we thought? Surely, the lot of us could just as convincingly play the shut-in writer who, in his isolation, is free to showcase his fine capacity for slowly going insane.

All in a good days work. Well, we can continue to look for the good work to keep us expecting more from this unpredictable and unflawed talent. Hail Johnny!
