But will the jury's decision help Johnny Depp get his Hollywood career back? In the minds of some public relations experts, that remains to been seen.

But will the jury's decision help him get his Hollywood career back? In the minds of some public relations experts, that remains to been seen.
In interviews Wednesday, three PR and crisis communications professionals said they felt confident that Depp could get his big-screen acting career back on track.
Two other experts expressed more skepticism, pointing out that Depp’s stature in the entertainment industry was diminished even before the trial started and observing that a wide swath of the moviegoing public will continue to believe Depp subjected Heard to physical abuse over years, regardless of the jury’s ruling.
Howard Breuer, the CEO of Newsroom Public Relations, a firm based in Los Angeles, said he thinks people in the industry will approach working with Depp again with caution.
