Long before he was Captain Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp starred as officer Tom Hanson on the hit TV series 21 Jump Street. The show is being adapted into a 21 Jump Street movie and, when speaking to MTV recently, Johnny Depp revealed that he is interested in making a cameo appearance:

"Call him. I'm in. I think it'd be pretty easy."

The "him" he's referring to is actor/screenwriter Jonah Hill, who had earlier revealed that he wrote a part for Johnny Depp.

We reported last week that Channing Tatum will star in 21 Jump Street alongside Hill. Phil Lord and Chris Miller are directing from a script by Michael Bacall, who hatched the initial treatment with Jonah Hill.

21 Jump Street will start shooting sometime next spring.
