Before he made it big in Hollywood, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star hawked pens over the phone.
According to Interview magazine, Depp's role involved calling up strangers and telling them that they were eligible for a complimentary grandfather clock or a trip to Tahiti if they ordered a shipment of pens.
''I sold one thing, one gross of pens to one guy," Depp told Interview. "And then he was asking me about the trip to Tahiti and I was riddled with guilt, so I told him, 'Hey, man, you don't want these (expletive) pens. This is a scam. The grandfather clock is made of press board. You're not going to Tahiti. I'm sorry.' So I talked him out of it.''
