Johnny Depp wants to cameo in '21 Jump Street' movie


"Alice in Wonderland" looks like it may be Johnny Depp's biggest opener ever this weekend, but the big screen superstar hasn't forgotten his roots. Depp got his big break playing undercover officer Tom Hanson on the inaugural Fox network TV show "21 Jump Street" and with a movie version in the works he's absolutely open to making a cameo.

Laughing, Depp told Entertainment Weekly, "I'm hoping they'll let me do a cameo.  Someone will say, 'Whatever happened to Tom Hanson?' and they'll find me somewhere hoarding jars of peanut butter and shaking in my underpants."

The project is in development at Sony Pictures with Jonah Hill on board to write the screenplay and possibly star.  Depp is currently shooting "The Tourist" opposite Angelina Jolie and will then segue to "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" this summer.
