Lon Chaney Jr.

Johnny Depp------God love him, he's a nice guy, and he has lots of money, and he won't mind not winning this one.

Chaney Jr. had a tough time living up to his father's name, he had a lot of trouble establishing himself because critics trashed him for "not having his father's talent." But after a great deal of struggle and work, he became a character actor and a star, and even claimed one of Universal's finest monsters, the Wolf Man, for his own.

He played Dracula, the Frankenstein Monster, and the Mummy for Universal. Other actors had played those monsters, too. But the Wolf Man was strictly his.
