Johnny Depp's severed, desiccated head was on 'The Walking Dead'
Johnny Depp was on Sunday's episode of The Walking Dead, though he might not know it.
The actor himself didn't appear -- but a sculpt of his head did. His disgusting, severed, extremely deceased head.

The famed noggin popped up in a scene where Rick and his people went looking for a severed head that could be passed off as the one belonging to Gregory. Depp's made the shortlist.
Also present was the head of Greg Nicotero, an executive producer for the series and the director of Sunday's episode. Nicotero revealed to Entertainment Weekly that while a sculpt of his own head was the one Rick ultimately used, Depp was in there as well.
"One of the other heads, I don’t know if I’m going to get in trouble if I say this, was Johnny Depp," Nicotero said. "I think we had sculpted an emaciated version of a dummy head for something and we used Johnny Depp’s head as a basis just for a clay sculpt. I can’t remember who the third one is, but I’m in good company."
Nicotero was a very well-established special effects master before The Walking Dead came along, so it's not at all weird or strange that he'd have a sculpt of Depp's severed head lying around. The two previously worked together on Public Enemies and Once Upon a Time in Mexico.
