i'd like to meet Johnny Depp, because i've heard he signs alot for his fans, but i live on the east coast, so it would be kind of hard for that to happen.

Johnny is notoriously generous when it comes to taking time for his fans and signing autographs. I'm with you ... I'd love to meet him and it is nice to know he is so approachable.

I have to differ with you here, Michael. The internet is filled with many video clips and stories about Johnny taking time out on location to meet his fans. He filmed a portion of Pubic Enemies in my home state awhile back. I couldn't make it to the location because I had to work, but I sent a photo to the production office for the movie and he signed it and sent it back.

Here's a clip from one of his meet and greets in Crown Point, Indiana. While following the news of the filming, I found out that he did this in every film location city.

And finally, I note Steve's assessment of Johnny when it comes to signing autographs.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Johnny Depp, take a bow. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star who turns menacing in his new role as murderous barber Sweeney Todd, has been named the best celebrity autograph signer for the third year running.

Depp, 44, and "The Bourne Ultimatum" star Matt Damon were rated as the best Hollywood signers in the 15th annual survey of who's cool -- and who's cruel -- to autograph collectors by Autograph magazine.

"It's the third consecutive year Depp has topped the list of the 10 best signers. Whether at a premiere, in a restaurant or on location, Depp may just be the best Hollywood autograph signer of all time," Steve Cyrkin, the magazine's editor and publisher, said in a statement.

Let's not sell Johnny short - he is very generous with his fans.

well my experience with him was that we saw him 10 times and he signed once, about half the other times he was drunk and didnt even acknowledge us, are you sure your photo is real and not secretarial, i know he doesnt sign much of his own mail.

to put it into perspective, my trip to chicago, i saw johnny depp 10 times he signed 1, i saw christian bale 4 times he signed 4, i saw marion cotillard 5 times she signed 4, i saw michael mann 4 times he signed 3. so i was just going by my personal experience, other people could have had different results. and your videos on youtube with him signing, how many nights was he filming and how many nights did he sign, i know most nights he only shook hands, i think he signed like 1 out of the 10 or 15 days he was in wisconsin, and his security threatened 2 of my friends when they were at his hotel to have them arrested if they asked for his autograph

Well I've only met a handful, My faves so far have been Stone Cold Steve Austin hes a really cool down to earth guy. the Coors light Twins Elaine and Diane and Joan of Arcadia star Amber Tamblyn was absolutely wonderful to meet in person I almost died that night . I've also met Pixie from L.A. Ink . but I did miss Kat Von D at her book signing by only 20 minutes needless to say i was devistated at missing her . I dont remember much about meeting Baywatch star Donna D'Errico except my face was red, was 2 young to get a pic with her. Celebs I'd love to meet Taylor Swift, Alexis Bledel, Devon Aoki, Robert De Niro, Anne Hathaway, Paris Hilton, and yes Johnny Depp hes such a surpurb actor

I have met so many celebs it's difficult to put them all down on a piece of paper.

But I would have to say I would like to meet Jet li and Carla Gugino and mainly because I own the male/female Mandala Necklace they both wore a piece of in the movie "The One" and I would love to get some feedback on it. The necklace got some big time screen time in the movie so there had to be a story behind it. I just think they either didn't bother to tell the story or cut all of that out.

Anyway I have been offered $3500.00 for the necklace years ago but I turned that down without even batting an eye. It would take some really stupid money for me to even think about parting with something so rare.
