Will Johnny Depp be tapped to play Dean Martin in a biopic of his life? Martin's daughter Deana reveals that Depp was her top choice to portray late singer Martin in a movie.

Deana acknowledged that a film is in the works, and will be directed by Joe Mantegna and written by comedian and actress Bonnie Hunt. Deana was speaking as a guest on a Boston radio program when she said, "[Depp] is a tremendous actor, he has that charm, that swagger, and the resemblance of my father is there. I’m sure he would do the role justice!”

Deana recently released a book called Memories Are Made of This, Dean Martin Through His Daughter’s Eyes and is a singer in her own right with a CD titled "Volare."

Hey pallie DMP. Wow! Johnny Depp is a huge star. That would definitely help the movie. I would watch it. Not sure if he would have been my top choice, but I'm sure he would do a fine job.

Johnny Depp? I have trouble looking at Johnny and seeing Dino. Now George Clooney is the man for the role, he got class, style, face and body type.

Hey pallie Keith, Depp is certainly hot these days...and would certainly bring in younger pallies to view for sure...but is he the best Dinochoice?...that's the most important Dinoquire..

Hey pallie Maria, now you and I are of like Dinominds on this...Clooney loves our Dino and I thinks coulda do the best Dinojob of bringin' the Dinostory to the big screen...

Maria Jensen said...

I like Johnny as an actor, but sorry he is NOT the type for this role.. Well, maybe he will get a little more muscle? He is kind of skinny and tinny :P

Hey pallie DMP. That's my thing. I don't know that I would pick him. I would say George Clooney. We've talked about that the last couple of years. If it doesn't happen, I'd rather it be Johnny than some of the guys it could be. Plus since Johnny is popular, that might definitely put some butts into theater seats. That could help bring more people into the Dinofold. I would still like to see George play Dino though.

Hey pallie Maria, sounds like the three of us are in total Dinoagreement on this...but as I have said, if Depp is the choice he probably could bring more youthful pallies to know, love, and honor our Dino....
