Depp Says ‘ARRRR!’ to Voice Talent

Strangely enough I had a dream about Johnny Depp the other night, something I’m not in the habit of doing. We were at this strange music conference and then he was whisked away by some old buddies in a beat up car painted like a 60’s hippie VW bus. Was this merely a […]
