Victor Van Dort

Victor Van Dort is the shy, clumsy protagonist of Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, voiced by Johnny Depp, who accidentally becomes engaged to a deceased woman, Emily, while practicing his vows for his arranged marriage to Victoria Everglot, leading him to navigate the Land of the Dead to return to his living fiancée. He is a kind-hearted but nervous young man from a fishmonger family, whose social awkwardness causes him to mistakenly propose to the Corpse Bride, Emily, after placing a ring on what he thought was a tree branch.
