I have to agree that Johnny Depp is a fine actor--haven't seen the movie
you mentioned, yet, though.

But I think good old Leo deserves some credit.  He was Incredible in
"What's Eating Gilbert Grape."  I think he did pretty good in Romeo and
Juliet, too.  He's just become so mass mediafied that he's hard to take
seriously anymore.  I think he would have made a good Holden--for some
reason he seems close to the visual image I've always had of Holden. 
Maybe a little too pretty, I don't know...

I see Will Smith as having suffered the same fate.  His performance in 
"Six Degrees of Separation" blew me away.  I didn't know he was capable
of such depth.  But I haven't seen it anywhere else from him, either...
