10. Johnny Depp - Hugo
If an actor was going to produce a Martin Scorsese movie youd imagine itd be one of the directors recurring stars; Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio have both produced his films at one time or another. But for Hugo a man completely unassociated to the legendary director was at work behind the scenes. Unlike many other stars of his level, Johnny Depp hadnt touched producing for much of his career, only starting recently. Its common for an actor to have to have produced a fair amount of material theyve starred in before moving into the role proper, but ol Johnny took the plunge straight away. Hugo was the wonderfully named Infinitum Nihils first (and so far only) non-Depp film. It took a good half a decade for the company (founded by Depp and ran by his sister) to get a film out, but now its set up it doesn't look ready to stop. Up next (aside from Depp related stuff) is a dramatisation of the West Memphis Three, a much documented miscarriage of justice that regained notoriety after a brilliant Peter Jackson endorsed documentary last year.
