Johnny Depp has confirmed that he does use an earpiece when acting on set. The Hollywood actor is currently in a legal battle with his ex-managers, Joel and Robert Mandel of The Management Group (TMG), who he has accused of mishandling his finances and causing him to rack up more than $40 million in debt. The Mandel brothers have responded with a countersuit, with one allegation made in a lawsuit filed in May 2017 alleging that Depp paid hundreds of dollars to employ a sound engineer to feed him his lines through an earpiece so he doesn't have to memorize scripts. The Pirates of the Caribbean star has now explained that he does sometimes use an earpiece to help him act "with just his eyes".

Brando used cue cards.

Good thing for him and the movie was he had great makeup and costumes for his Godfather character.

Good one. I thought Keith would have died a decade ago, but he is proving himself to be an energizer bunny. 8>)
