I heard some people dispute that.Depp is part Cherokee. It's technicality, but that parries any claims.

On the fence. Makes me think they should have got an authentic native american for the part. It just looks... off...
I agree, I usually get up in arms about this type of casting but even I don't care this time. I just don't. Johnny Depp and Verbinski are the only reason this project exists and Depp seems to have a thing for Native Americans so of course he was going to play Tonto. I guess some can bring this up next time I bring up the race thing but I honestly don't care one way or the other this time.There was no fuss the last two times he played a Native American. It'll be fine.
He looks like he has something in him, that's for sure.I know some people are going to create a fecalstorm because of Tonto but Johnny Depp has never looked particularly Caucasian let alone Anglo to me.
He can easily pass as an Amerindian Hispanic or just a straight up Native American.
