Johnny Depp is to star as Totto in the Disney's re-imagining of the Lone Ranger. The starring role has not been cast yet. Totto is a half Native American character who after nursing the Lone Ranger back to life, becomes his faithful sidekick.
This is what Depp had to say on the character:
"I always felt Native Americans were badly portrayed in Hollywood films over the decades. It's a real opportunity for me to give a salute to them. Tonto was a sidekick in all the Lone Ranger series. [This film] is a very different approach to that partnership. And a funny one I think."
