"The only reason that any of us are up here is because of you," he told fans after accepting the award."It has been quite an amazing decade and an incredible ride, and I sincerely thank all of you for bestowing on me all your great treasures," he added.
The award is decided by an online poll and in the past 10 years, Depp has received maximum votes for being favourite actor. He made it big as Captain Jack Sparrow in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series and later consolidated his position with the movies like "Sweeney Todd" and "Finding Neverland".
The People's Choice Awards were held Thursday at Los Angeles.
