How Johnny Depp Was Cast In Tusk (& Why He’s Not Credited)

Tusk is a blend of horror and comedy with a bizarre concept and a very intriguing cast, as the Tusk movie cast Johnny Depp in an uncredited role. Directed by Kevin Smith, the horror movie tells the story of a podcaster who finds himself in the hands of a deranged seafarer intent on transforming him into a walrus. This peculiar and unsettling premise is a testament to Smith’s distinctive storytelling style, as the movie combines elements of Kevin Smith’s dark humor and surreal horror. Tusk was born from Smith’s own podcast, where he and his co-host whimsically discussed a fake ad that inspired the film’s twisted narrative (via Smodcast).
