KARACHI: Johnny Depp has reprised the role of Edward Scissorhands, for an upcoming episode of the popular animated sitcom “Family Guy”. The 49-year-old actor has returned to TV after a long hiatus donning the big screen.

The protagonist of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has returned to the character 22 years after first starring in the film, which was released in 1990. The versatile actor appears in a brief cameo for the show. Mark Hentemann Executive Producer of Family Guy, revealed that Depp snapped right into character despite a gap of more than two decades.

“When he was in the booth, he said that he felt like he hadn't done that voice since he did it in front of the camera. He was able to snap right back into Edward Scissorhands once we pulled up a clip from the movie. He was amazing," he said.

The new series of Family Guy airs in September, later this year.
