Q: Everyone loves Johnny Depp now, but where did he get his start?

Many people remember a young Johnny Depp in his star-making turn on the '80s cops-as-kids drama "21 Jump Street," but fewer remember his first role, in the classic 1984 horror film "A Nightmare on Elm Street."

He broke ground by playing one of the first teenagers hunted in their sleep by Freddy Krueger, who has made a business out of hunting teenagers in their sleep across numerous sequels.

Depp is not surprised that this was not the role that made him a star.

Don Draper could be considered a man among men. From a distance, that is.

Get close enough to these guys, though, and the whisky and tobacco might not cloud your vision quickly enough.

As long as your mother promises not to start stalking the 81-year-old TV great, I can tell you that he now lives in Houston.

Ever the cowboy, he has continued to work with horses down south, competing in dressage, polo and cutting-horse competitions.

"Texas has been good to me," Drury told Oklahoma City's "The Oklahoman" newspaper. "I've worked with many great horse trainers here and up through Oklahoma. I love it all -- the dust, the sweat, the sunshine and the smell of the horses."
