Sweeney Todd actor Johnny Depp has been named the ‘Best Hollywood Signer’ when it comes to signing autographs for fans.  People magazine’s ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ Matt Damon came in second place, followed by George Clooney in third.

The 44-year-old actor is the most gracious celebrity — for the third year in a row — on Autograph magazine’s annual list of the “10 Best and 10 Worst Hollywood Signers.”

“Though soft-spoken and laid-back, (Depp) likes to talk to fans and get to know them while signing,” New York autograph dealer Anthony Risi explains in the December issue, now on newsstands. “He’ll sign more than one item when he has time, too.”
