Depp isn't tall enough (OBL is 6'7"). It would have to be Tim Robbins:

Biography for Tim Robbins

Birth name
Timothy Francis Robbins

Height
6' 5" (1.96 m)
Mini biography
Robbins studied drama at UCLA where he graduated with honors in 1981. That same year, he formed the Actors' Gang, an experimental ensemble that expressed radical political observations through the European avant-garde form of theater. He started film work in tv- movies in 1983, but hit the big time in 1988 with his portrayal of the dimwitted fastball pitcher "Nuke" Laloosh in "Bull Durham." Tall with baby-faced looks, he has the ability to play naive and obtuse ("Cadillac Man" and "The Hudsucker Proxy"), or slick and shrewd ("The Player" and "Bob Roberts"). He is a famous America-hater; a wealthy, guilty apologist for everything left wing. Though he is not untalented, most clear-thinking Americans want him to move to France where he may be mugged by a band of 15 year old Algerian street thugs who would urinate on him while calling him an "American pig-dog."

I added a bit to his bio. Can you guess which part?

Re: Depp isn't tall enough...

Gad! Never tell a great talent of Depp's breath that. He would just act taller!

BTW, I hate his opinions, but he is a great actor. In Ed Wood he captured the nuttyness of '50s film making. And, dangit! He was a dish in that sweater... ;o)

IMHO, you added a half-inch to Tim Robbins height. Am I right?
