This blog will elaborate the differences between comparing and contrasting. In this blog I will compare the two figures Will Smith and Johnny Depp. These two actors have achieved greatness at such an early age, i felt it fit to elaborate between the two. Not only were the two similar in there acting but in music and awards. From the beginning, the two were destined for greatness. Neither had any idea what to do as they got older. Both men had talent dropped right onto their shoulders. The similarities between these men were not well known facts whereas the differences were extremely prominent. Each had began life in two totally different ways only to enter nearly the same future, fame and fortune.
Will Smith was born September 25, 1968 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He began his career at age 16 through a party. That party was the beginning of his rap career. Smith's amazing success in rap gave him the incentive to do more. Johnny Depp was born June 9, 1963 in Owensboro Kentucky. When Depp turned twenty he met and married make-up artist, Lori Allison. Lori Allison's ex Nicholas Cage was introduced to Depp and took an interest in him. The two began working hard and made Depp immediately famous.
Both Depp and Smith began their fame as musicians. Depp started in a small band called the Kids and made a small fan-group. He gained fame throughout his whole home town. Depp was noticed through most of his music which led to his first marriage. Smith was an average guy with unnoticed musical talents until he met a very important man at a party. The DJ of the party soon signed a record deal with Smith and he became very famous for his amazing rap talents. Smith focused on positive lyrics and aimed for a younger audience where Depp had no care for who listened to his music. Though Smith continued to rap even after fame, Depp saw his new found fame as a chance to break away from music. The Kids broke up within that year.
Neither of the two had time for college. Both of them felt that with their success college wasn't an option. With college off the plate, Smith began to take interest in acting. Two years after beginning his rap fame, NBC hired him to act on a sitcom. The two began their career on T.V. sitcoms. Depp in 21 Jump Street and Smith in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Both Depp and Smith enjoyed the idea of daring roles in movies of all sorts. Neither of them had a preferred genre of movies. As the two got older, harder roles became the only way to gain more fans. Depp led off into a fifties musical called Cry Baby, a great change in his acting appearence. From that movie hit, Depp went on to take roles like Edward Scissorhand gaining him fifty million and a very mature audience. Smith's fame slowly improved after taking the role in Where The Day Takes You. Both actors began forming a very mature audience. Smith's life changing role in Bad Boys established the leading role talent. Both had proven major talent before the age of thirty.
