Fortress Of Good Fortune

Well, it's no surprise that I loved Johnny in Public Enemies! ;) Suave, smooth, and with a hint of vulnerability underneath the pinstriped suit, he really sold that movie. And his one scene with Christian sizzled so much, it launched a fandom! ;)

I've enjoyed him in all the Pirates Of The Caribbean movies (haven't seen the latest yet) and Alice In Wonderland and he's always been the best! :)

Happy Birthday, Johnny! :)

Author’s Notes: I’m starting a series of essays about all aspects of Public Enemies. Subjects will range from acting, costuming, directing, characterization, fannish interpretations (including slash), and so on. I encourage people to write their own! :) Naturally, these essays are my own opinion and are not any definitive word on the subjects, but you have to start somewhere! :)

( So we saw a Mel on-screen who was high-strung, dedicated, and conflicted. )
