In the 2009 film based on a true story, Depp stars as John Dillinger, a notorious bank robber during the Great Depression who is being pursued an FBI agent. "Well, he was raised basically a farm boy in southern Indiana… I was born and rain in Owensboro, Kentucky, who is about 70 miles away… and that's when it all clicked for me," Depp said about portraying Dillinger. "I knew how he moved. I knew how he talked."
